We had a lovely morning at cousin Lauren's 4th birthday party today. Unsurprisingly given the location and weather water has featured predominantly on this holiday, with lots of beach and swimming pool outings. Sophia loves the water as much as I do and happily kicks and splashes about in it. Although she will no longer wear a hat. You put it on her head, she gropes around until she grips it and throws it off. We can repeat this process until I stop laughing and get bored by it! At least she lets me smother her in sunscreen, I think she enjoys the little massage when I rub the cream in!

It's been a medically eventful holiday thus far: we had a hospital trip last week (viral gastro for poor little Sophs; a LOT of vomit to clean up for poor me), I had a throat/chest infection, and now Sophia has been mauled and reacted badly to mosquito bites and it covered in red welts. We share the same room and bed - they mozzies don't touch me but just love Sophia for some reason. At least we are all getting better slowly.

Sophia continues to be loved and cherished by everyone she meets. Saying au revoir in a few weeks is going to be horrible, I am dreading it. I am so enjoying seeing the happiness she brings to people. She is my sweet natured, gentle, precious, chilled out little lady and I love her more than I can say.
