Not long ago, I had occasion to dig up some baby pictures of myself. Actually, I had occasion to call my mom and ask her to dig them up, scan them, and email them to me. But one of the results of my photo journey to the past was a happy reunion with this:
A photo taken of me at one year. It's a favorite, I think mostly because it makes me laugh. Notice my left leg tucked under the dress, creating the illusion that I am missing both an arm and a leg on that side. I'd like to think this was an early sign of a career in comedy.
I did usually keep one leg pulled back, using the other leg to pull myself along the floor instead of crawling. At least I had some diaper padding to scoot on; well, a cloth diaper...my parents were hippies.
But just look at those eyes and tell me there wasn't some mischief afoot. It's like she knows, one day, Joey will bite her arm.

Tasha, I LOVE this! But I thought that you'd say it's one of your fav's b/c of the shag carpet! That's vintage right there :) Thanks for sharing!! <3 Joy

ReplyDeleteMischief in those eyes and anarchy in those curls. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable baby you were! I agree, definitely signs of mischief in that face. Proof that your mama can do anything: this might be the only known instance of a one-year old baby actually SITTING for a photo known to humankind :)
