In case you haven't noticed already, I have a pretty good sense of humor.  Also, I am humble and shy.  Which is why I am so willing to share all these pictures with you.  Let these pictures, for the record, show that some people are just born cute.  There's nothing these people (particularly me) can do about it.
Always a smarty pants. . .when my Mom would tell me to "go fly a kite," I would.  You may not be able to read it in this picture but the kite actually reads GO FLY A KITE!

March, 1977
(almost 3 yrs. old)
Here's a picture of my Mom and me when I was 3 1/2 yrs. old.  This picture is proof that at one point, my Mom WAS able to control me.  However, those days are long gone.  HA!  Check out my Mom's foxy "socks with sandals" look.  Very stylish in the late 70s!
Here I am, at 17 months old, hiding underneath the pad of my play pen.  Don't ask me why-- I can't quite rememeber my logic behind this.
What a babe!  Check me out in my Mom's bathing suit (right)!  She used to tell me to "go in the house and put on a bathing suit" when I wanted to get in the little pool.  Hey, she never specified WHOSE bathing suit I was supposed to put on, hence this suit which is a little bit too big.  Just a little.  I think this is from when I was about 4 years old (my Mom cut my beautiful SNARLY curly hair when I was about 3 1/2 because I wouldn't let her comb it anymore.  Guess she showed me!)
Some people have no shame!  Here I am, on the potty, at 11 months old.  (Hey, you're lucky I'm sparing you the bathtub shot!)
This picture is pre-haircut.  Since my birthday is in April, I always had cakes that were bunnies, or other related Easter themes.  Check out my sweet color coordination!  I have always been a fashion diva, in case you couldn't tell.
Here I am in front of my hotel room door in Cleveland, Ohio.  Gail put my name on my door so I #1: wouldn't forget my name and #2: wouldn't forget which room was mine.
Here's a fantastic close up (*snort*) of Nate and I at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.  I didn't make him go to the Strawberry Shortcake Convention with me.  I love him too much to put him through such torture!  (Summer, 2003)
