I learned in school that the symbol next to no is hi. So are my ears deceiving me or did I hear shi as in onnanoshito?

Why does the honorific O appear before the kanji in okaosan and otousan but not before the same kanji in the other people, like in onnanohito?

I think you have the child and baby mixed up. This says "akachan"/baby on the lady holding the toddler and "kodomo"/child on the baby.
