adorable/ad-horrible??

This One!
She looks sweet and much of the time she is. There is also a good proportion of her day, lately, spent not being so sweet.


This One has a scream on her to cause Industrial Deafness. I give you an example of 'feeding time at the zoo' last night. I foolishly dared to touch her spoon and in an instant she reached a note that Mariah Carey has no hope of hitting and did not stop until I gave that spoon right back to her! Naturally Tiggy thought this was hilarious and tested the effect again. I swear my ear-drums shook as she elevated both the note and the duration!
Heaven help you if you actually try to feed her. In one deft move she'll up-end the bowl, fling it to the ground and attempt to hit/scratch/pinch any inch of flesh she can grab hold of.


This One feeds herself now, all the time!
This One will hit her brother. Unbelievably he hasn't retaliated.

This One is so cute when she copies words, ou-t, moh (more), up, nyoh-nai (milk in Mandarin), mama, dada, baba (for Tigs), biiiiii (bye) and hiiiiiii, oddly with a deep Southern drawl. And then suddenly I heard a clear and definite, "No" to any offer. This she started yesterday, it's short and sharp and do not try to repeat whatever it was you just did. I spent some time yesterday trying to teach her "Yes". Didn't work!



This One eats dirt. Any dirt will do, from between the paving, from a pot-plant, doesn't matter to her it all tastes good - apparently.


This One likes toilets! I mean the inside, the flushing water, the rim and yep, even the toilet brush - ugh I feel ill even typing it.



This One is feisty, but still cuddly, lovable and yes, adorable.


This One is mine, she's 13 months now and I love her to bits.

My sister ate buckets full of sand and she turned out alright in the end! (Think the nappies were very entertaining though!)
