Perrie Edwards has shared adorable photos of her baby son Axel to mark the tot turning six months old.

The Little Mix singer took to Instagram to proudly share the milestone moment with her 14.3 million followers.

Unlike Perrie, Leigh-Anne has chosen to keep the names and gender of her twins private.

Although she has shared snaps of her babies with footballer fiancé Andre Gray on social media, their faces are always covered with emojis.

Despite keeping the tots out of the spotlight for now, Leigh-Anne also marked their six month birthday with some cute photos in her Instagram stories.

She shared a beachfront holiday shot of herself in a green dress pushing two prams which she captioned: “My miracles are six months. How did that happen?”

Fans could only see a glimpse of the twins’ feet as their faces were covered with baby emojis.

While the Little Mix babies are only six months old, they are already pretty well travelled.

In November Perrie took Axel on his first family holiday to Dubai and shared snaps of him in an adorable swimsuit beside the pool at the luxury resort.

Leigh-Anne’s twins have been on holiday to Jamaica, where some of her family are from.

In one gorgeous snap from their holiday, Leigh-Anne and Andre stood on the beach in their swimwear, each holding a baby in their arms.

Their little ones was dressed in mesh tops the colours of the Jamaican flag.

Calling it her second home, Leigh-Anne told her 8.3 million Instagram followers “there’s no place like it”.

Leigh-Anne and Perrie have also snapped right back into shape only six months after giving birth.

Both have shared bikini snaps showing off their incredible bodies, which show no sign of having just had a baby.

The girls are currently on maternity leave from Little Mix but are set to embark on a final tour with the band later this year.

After that the group will disband temporarily to focus on solo projects, but they insist it isn’t a permanent break up.
