Hollie said: "When he was born he was a tiny tiny dot but by the time he was three weeks old, he was flipping himself over.
"I was constantly being kicked he started kicking at 16 weeks. He was very active and that carried on because he was always kicking his little legs.

The funeral will take place next week and the family have created a fundraiser in Lincoln-James' name with all donations going to Sophie's Legacy. So far, the fundraiser has already reached £1,280 which has surpassed Hollie's expectation but she wants to raise as much money as possible to help other families going through similar situations.
Hollie said that her beautiful baby boy was a happy soul who was thriving whilst he was in hospital and he bought her family so much joy and happiness.

"He was perfect in every way."
