So I will admit that until I got to work today and looked at my calendar, I forgot about this picture carnival. I still wanted to participate and went through my box of photos I never took back home and found this:
I absolutely love this photo because it is SO inspiring. I mean I’m what, probably 6 months old here? And my mom looks like THAT. She is whithering away! Who has the confidence to walk around in shorts that size not long after giving birth? I am so hopeful of the good genes that she has potentially passed to me and I will eagerly and thankfully receive them with open arms. And I’m a pretty cute baby also, I might add. I look like a little baby doll with my pink and white bonnet. My daughter will definitely be a hat girl.

I am MORTIFIED!!!! I look like a hooker pushing a baby stroller!
Good genes, huh? Please remember what I look like now and the fact that I have passed down a whole barrel full of crazy and of organs that have to be removed.
Bless your heart.
Sher says
BTW Darling, you were a hat girl because you were a BALD girl. You were always mistaken for a boy, even though I kept your toenails painted so that I might distinguish you in that way.
Having your bubble burst by your Mom: priceless.
Rachel @ Unexpected Blessings says
Wow! She does look great! You are pretty adorable yourself! So cute! Thanks for sharing, even if it was at the expense of your mom! 🙂
Jenny says
Wow your mom looks great for just having a baby. My mom did too, I guess we eat more junk nowadays and that is why we are not as skinny after having kids:(
Cute pic, love the hat.

Loved your picture! Loved your Mom’s comment more!
Fashion really is inspiring!
Sher says
It is an inspiration to stay thin when you are married to a man who tells you to get off your ass and go to the gym. 🙂
I didn’t wanna go to the gym so I just didn’t eat. Easy breezy.
