Today being "Flashback Friday" I would just like to share a few blurry images (because I'm not scanning them, I'm taking a picture of a picture...sorry) of my early days:
I was a baby in my early days. Here I am giving my toy baby the same look I get today, as a grown up person, from real babies and kids. They tend to just stare at me, unable to take their eyes off of me out of fear that I might pounce or something!
This is where I gained my skill and became a true athlete.
And also where I started my love for frosting.
I have been taking classes so I can be certified as a Teacher's Aide. I have learned some interesting things in these classes, one of them being that children gain their self esteem in the first few years of their lives! That seemed crazy to me, but as I look back through pictures and see how happy I am in them, I can see how it is important for kids to start their lives out knowing that they are of worth. So, thanks to my mom and dad and my grandmas and grandpas for not just laying me on the floor and not talking to me. I'm sure you're the ones to blame for me feeling comfortable sticking things to my face, dancing behind Andrea's back while she plays The Twilight Theme, practicing each day as a child so I could out burp anyone who might cross my path, and whatever else might come to my mind and out through my actions. You never criticized me and made me believe that I could do anything!
Yes, of course I started out, literally as a baby, but I also started a lot of my habits and quirky ways as a baby. I tend to still act the same way today!

You were a cute baby, but I guess I knew that would be true.
