Me as a baby. I was probably about one.
Yep! It’s my birthday!
I thought I’d share this photo of me today. It was my first ever portrait studio picture.
I have been told that my Grandma Taylor bought the outfit that I wore that day (she also bought my brother a suit that he wore for his own portrait). Since I believe that I am about one in this photo, this would have been shortly before my Grandma Taylor passed away.
Though I’m older now, I still have the same eyes (surrounded perhaps by a wrinkle or two), and the same smile (thankfully, with a lot more teeth; all still my own).
At this age, I think I looked a lot more like my Dad. As I got older though, I look much more like my Mom.
My Father
My Mother
Here’s a picture of each of them. See what you think.
A more recent photo of me.
Happy Birthday! It’s awesome that your grandmother bought you the outfit that you wore in the photo. It really creates a connection between you and a grandmother that you didn’t have much of an opportunity to get to know.
I think you look a little like both of your parents.
In looking at my most recent photo, I would have to say I see more of Dad, as I did in comparing his baby picture to mine. If I can get hold of my mother’s high school picture and side by side it with one of mine, the resemblance between the two of us is pretty amazing.
And, I do know that I sound like my mother. Her friends would call the house and I’d answer and they’d start in on a conversation as if it were her.
