Britain's smallest ever premature baby, who weighed just 11 oz at birth, is continuing to defy the odds and has opened her eyes.
Baby Hannah Stibbles is now a month old, and was born on December 30 by emergency C-section at 25 weeks.
Tiny Hannah is thought to be the smallest baby ever to survive in the UK and was given a 20 per cent chance of pulling through by doctors.
Parents Ellie Paton, 17, and Brandon Stibbles, 21, have finally been able to hold the tot, who will stay in the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, in Glasgow, until she is big enough to go home.
The couple, from Newmilns, Ayrshire, were warned by medics 'babies that small don't survive' - but Hannah was strong enough to breath by herself.
They are counting down the days until Hannah can be transferred to Crosshouse Hospital, Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, which is closer to home.
Hannah now tips the scales at 547g and her eyes have opened.
Her delighted parents have been able to feed her through a tube - although one of her lungs has collapsed, meaning she needs osulation and a nebuliser.
The couple are enjoying reading her stories and watching the tot respond as she now recognises their voices.
Proud dad Brandon said: "We have both got to hold her a couple of times.
"It's a completely different feeling - you can either pick her up from the incubator or they can bring her over.
"We prefer that, she's really really small.
"Her eyes have opened and she's pretty aware now.
"She was waving at us, and we wave back.
"We are there all day, every day."
The couple have read her books including Dilly Duckling, and Giraffes Can't Dance.
Ellie added: "It's not just good for her, it's good for us as well.
"We get to change her nappies quite often as well now.
"Because she's got chronic
