On Saturday morning, Tabitha and I went out for breakfast with my friends Amy and Debbie, to celebrate Debbie's recent birthday. We went to a brilliant little cafe called Kanteen, which is set right by the Yarra River on a secluded bend, in South Yarra. Plenty of outdoors room to run around, watch the bicycles and dogs go past, and very kid-friendly.
Tabitha had a ball tearing around and playing in the dirt. Fun times!
Here is the birthday girl! I brought along some truffles from Koko Black for her. Always a good choice for a gift, in my opinion...
Amy bought Debbie the sweetest bow ring from Tiffany. It was a very nice gift, because Amy has just recently taken advantage of Deb being a flight attendant, using her staff travel for a heavily subsidized business class return trip to New York! Lucky girl!
PS I am so jealous of those nice natural healthy nails. My nails are cursed to a lifetime of flaking and breakage after years as a nail biting youth.
Tabitha trying to feed Amy. I am still loving Tabby's little haircut:
Lucky Tabitha munching away on a biscuit:
Tabby and I shared the most delicious breakfast - black sticky rice with cocoanut milk, bananas and strawberries.
I had to keep retrieving Tabitha, as she ran off to chase a dog or a bike. Even when she is very wriggly, she will happily sit for a shoulder ride!
Bib on backwards, like a cape. Baby superhero costume.
Couldn't Debbie easily pass for Tabitha's mother?! They are both so blonde!
Tabby cried when she had to say goodbye to Debbie, and clung to her like a little monkey. Too cute.
At any rate, I think she looks more like Debbie than she does me! Tabby certainly doesn't have my colouring.
But we have the same mouth and chin, and the same frowny expressions. She has The Daddy's eyes and cheeks. 'They' say that babies look like their fathers for the first year, as a sort of evolutionary, biological safeguard (so the daddy sticks around I guess!). It certainly seems true with Tabitha - she started looking more like me after the 12 month mark.

I have heard the same about babies looking like their fathers. My son, who is blonde and blue eyed, looks nothing like his daddy who is part Greek with olive skin, brown eyes and black hair and our new baby daughter, although having darker hair than her brother (light brown), also has my blue eyes. It is very bizarre! But then it must be genetic as the same happened with my brothers and I who have a Scottish mother (blue eyed blonde) and Italian father (black hair and blue eyes). In saying that one of my brothers has brown eyes! Isn't genetics fascinating!
