Amanda Moore was catapulted into the national spotlight two years ago – her face splashed across newspapers and television screens. Everyone wanted to know about Britain's smallest mum.

A rare bone disease meant she measured 3ft 1in tall, leaving her 14-month-old son Aidan towering above her.

Toddler Aidan was also half his mum's weight – tipping the scales at 22lb.

However, Hinckley mum Amanda, whose height has been restricted by brittle bone disorder, said she never minded the media spotlight.

"People had already read the story in the newspapers or seen me on television, so that made them more comfortable about talking to me, rather than just standing and staring," she said.

The money secured from media appearances went straight into a bank account for Aidan.

And even though Amanda admits she never really liked doing live television there's another turn on screen coming up in a few months.

She and Aidan are set to be filmed for ITV morning show Daybreak as part of a Mother's Day feature.

So, two years from when we first featured Amanda, the media interest is obviously still there.

But family life goes on.

Amanda, 27, has just started taking Aidan, who is three next month, to a pre-school group attached to Richmond Primary School, near their Hinckley home.

He walks alongside his mum's electric wheelchair as they travel the short distance from their Gopsall Road flat.

When we last spoke to Amanda, Aidan was 2ft 6in and towered above her as she was unable to stand.

Now, he is more than 3ft tall.

Amanda said: "He's just a bit taller than me – he'll be picking me up one of these days."

Amanda reckons Aidan could end up being as tall as his dad Steven Fyfe, 22, who is 6ft 1in.

Amanda said: "Now Aidan's at pre-school two days a week, it gives me the chance to do things and get the place cleaned up.

"I live a normal life, like everyone else. Aidan is going through potty training at the moment, which is a nightmare and I have to deal with his moods and tantrums, just like the mum of any toddler.

"Life's not just about me now, I have more to think about and Aidan to look after when his dad's at work."

Amanda and Steven lived in Swindon when Aidan was born but soon after moved back to Hinckley, where Amanda grew up, to be near her dad Geoff, 56.

She said: "My family live in Hinckley, so it's nice to be near them. My mum passed away, but my dad is not far away.

"He's fairly helpful, but you know what men are like!"

Family is obviously important to Amanda, which is why she ignored experts' advice when she became pregnant with Aidan.

She suffers from osteogenesis imperfecta, commonly known as brittle bone disorder, and was born with 14 broken bones.

She resigned herself to never having children because experts feared her tiny frame could not cope with a pregnancy.

But she accidentally fell pregnant and defied doctors' advice that she should have an abortion.

She became the shortest woman ever to give birth in the UK when son Aidan was delivered by caesarean section in February 2009.

Now, she is beginning to think about whether there could be another addition to their family.

She said: "I would like to have another one now. I think I've got better and become stronger. I've been talking to Steven about it, but he's not going for it yet.

"We got engaged last year and we want to get married, but it's all about what it costs."
