(*Contraction of ‘boofilul’ – a mispronunciation of Lydia’s from a few months ago. Can be used as an adjective (as in “You’re so boofie”) or noun (as in “Mummy’s got two boofies”).

Angela is growing and changing and it is so lovely to see. She is 16 months old now and quite a little character. She got her first tooth a few weeks ago, but in true Angela style she has decided to do her own thing and get her molars first! This changes the shape of her face and mouth and makes her grin soooo adorably crooked. She still feeds via a tube (a source of constant frustration and sadness for Jen) and shows no real interest or enthusiasm for real food or drink. However, we have changed around her feeding slightly and this appears to have made her much more comfortable and happy. She still thinks her sister is the funniest, coolest, most entertaining person in the world with Nana running a close second.

This past week the girls in the family have all been quite sick with colds.  It started with Lydia last Sunday and has spread to Mum and eventually to Angela.  She has a bad cough but we expect her to pull through.

It’s hard to explain how her little smiles (once so remarkable by their absence) just light us all up. So I won’t try – I’ll just show you the photos I have collected over the last few weeks of our happy, smiley littlest girl. Enjoy!
