* When Tabs was a tiny baby her big sister Mistaya called her “<\/span>Honeymoon Tabs<\/i><\/span>.” I don’t know why but the name stuck and that is why I call her that in the above poem. I wrote this poem for Tabs when she was 2 months old.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Today my darling Tabitha is twelve years old. I remember her birth day like it was last year. She was the most amazing baby. She never cried, in fact, I was worried that perhaps there was something wrong with her and that perhaps she couldn’t cry. But no, she was super healthy and just a happy, content little babe. I called her my little dynamo because she was so quick and active and so tiny in size. I could never take her in public without being stopped constantly because of her beautiful blonde, curly afro. Her hair is long now, and less curly but when it is short the curls are unstoppable! Enjoy the baby pics of my second born daughter, my darling Tabs.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
