Presenting the hilariously funny Angel

Our home is always a source of hilarious fun and laughter (though it is often perpetrated with whines and moans too – wonder who!!). Why? ‘coz we have a clown in our family! Well, actually, 2 of them but one is especially funny. Like her sister before her, she’s a big ham! Both of them love music a lot (hmm, no prize for guessing why!), but more importantly, they do have good musical sense. I love the first video of Angel below, not only is she just side-splittingly funny bouncing up and down on the cushions (supposedly in time to the music), but then she got up and … BOPPED her head to the music (and did her cute shake her bum bum dance). We definitely have a Shakira in the making here! And the more you laugh, the more she’ll ‘entertain’ for you. She lives for the spot light!

Her personality has certainly evolved recently and is shining through. She’s very determined and strong headed. And she will try and try and try until she gets it (unlike Bibou who gives up easily and/or cry / whine when something doesn’t go her way or she can’t get something to work). Angel’s current obsession is trying to eat by herself. During meal times, she’ll only allow to be fed for the first few mouthfuls (probably ‘coz she’s too hungry ;)). But then after, she’ll demand for the spoon and will REFUSE to eat (though it’s obvious she’s not full yet) until you give her the spoon / fork for her to eat herself. She’d rather go hungry then not be able to do it her way. And I have to admit that she does a fairly decent job at it, given that she’s only just started. She also knows what she wants to eat… in the video below, you’ll see that as she’s trying to spoon up her food (noodles with shredded chicken and avocado, and you’ll notice that I tried to ‘re-introduce’ tomatoes to her) she shook her head when she saw the tomato. Ie, uh-uh, you’re not going to trick me, and flicked it off her spoon. She however got distracted and the tomato did go into her mouth, but that got promptly spat out!

She’s a parrot and a mimic. She repeats words all the time (though you need to listen carefully!!). She also mimics what her sister does and wants to be with her all the time though she prefers to bully Bibou! Whenever Bibou is playing with something, she wants to play with it too. Of course, Bibou being the ‘whiner’ of the family, will whine and moan and Angel will get fed up with it and pull her hair like telling her, stand up for yourself or something. The cutest thing ever the other day – I sat down on the sofa in the morning, took my slippers off and put on my socks as I was leaving the house to get to work. Angel looked at me, gave me a big grin and shot off. I was wondering what was up, then she came running to be, with a proud smile on her face… she’d went off to grab my boots for me! SWEETNESS! And something funny, it looks like she’s capable of ‘burping’ on command too! LOL. and though Angel never had the opportunity to be with other children as she wasn’t in the crèche etc, she has shown that she can play with other kids and understands that smaller babies are more fragile and cuter. The last video of her below shows of her trying to be gentle with O a 7 month old baby. She did that on her own! I was awfully touched when I saw that.

Anyway, enjoy this batch of videos. Unfortunately, I've not had much time recently to take photos and the weather has been just dreadful! So here are just some photos taken and some old photos taken over the summer but I'd forgotten to post!

The Videos :

This is my all time favorite clip of her dancing right now. Notice how she bops her head in time with the music. No one taught her that!!!!!

Angel eating on her own. She doesn't like tomatoes and so she 'shakes' her head 'no' at it!

Angel saying 'hello' on her telephone, but got distracted by the telly.

Here's Angel doing her cute little dance while Daddy is singing and she attempted to get O to dance with her.

She realized that little O was younger than she is and so tried to be gentle with him. She reached out to kiss him, but unfortunately, he was grouchy and so cried when she tried it. Poor girly didn't know what she did wrong!
