Tabitha as an adult

10 months and a lot.

Now that Tabitha is turning into a toddler you can start to see the kind of person i think she might be when she grows up.

I think she'll be...

• Affectionate. She loves snuggling up to people and giving cuddles and kisses
• A foodie. She really enjoys her food, even some really strong tasting things like smoked salmon, haggis and Marmite!
• Clever. She's already figured out how to do some games on my kindle.
• A night owl. She is NOT a morning person. having to get up and do things before 9 am makes her as grumpy as me.
• Outgoing. sometimes she does just want to be shy and hide behind mummy, but more often she immediately tries charming the pants off everyone she meets.
• Fearless. being in the dark just interests her, she loves watching dogs even if they are barking, some of her favorite games involve being bounced or hung upside down, having water on her head and face doesn't concern her and even having vaccinations doesn't overly bother her. just not much seems to scare her at all.
• a book lover. She didn't have much chance of avoiding this one, both me and Coyote are big readers and i love reading to her, even things that are dramatically beyond her age range.
• Cheeky and funny. She already has her own brilliant little sense of humor. the things that she finds massively amusing, like feeding me bits of her biscuit, and wiggling up the bed backwards to get to her toy monkey.
• Stubborn and independent. She wants to brush her own teeth and not have to wait for the tooth paste. She doesn't want to eat that food any more and it will go on the floor. She wants to get off mummies lap and go and try eating that power cable and she wants to do it _now_. she actively enjoys being in her baby prison (play pen) because it means that she can touch and play with everything around her without us having to police her.
• And beautiful. Tabitha will be really beautiful. You can already see it in her face. I may be biased, but she has high cheekbones, a cupids bow mouth, lovely creamy skin, big blue eyes, golden hair and a button nose. she's going to be a really pretty child and a beautiful adult.

it is lovely seeing her grow and blossom. i may be crazy, but i'm actually looking forward to the terrible 2's because then i'll get to see even more of those glimpses of personality.
