  16. A gorgeous baby, so chubby and sweet. Very best wishes for a lifetime of good health and happiness, Isla. No doubt she will bring much joy to the families... and lots of girly jackets, maybe frocks from Gma. I think G'pa will be teaching her to cook later on.

    1. I think she'll have to get a little older before she's ready to play with the book, but it will be there and ready for her.
