C'est un ange vs. elle est un ange

In the last sentence we use c'est to represent the baby girl. Meanwhile, all along we knew we were referring to her as a girl and not expressing a general notion. How come we used "c'est" instead of "elle" in the last sentence? Thank you.

This question relates to:French writing exercise "A day with my daughter"

It is always “c’est” when followed by an article, whether definite or indefinite

"C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French
