When I was a baby, my parents made a photo album documenting my days as a Christmas present for my grandparents. (At some point in my childhood, if I'm remembering correctly, it ended up back at our house.) When my mother and stepfather came to visit most recently, they brought it for me.

When I was a teenager, my parents never embarrassed me in front of my friends by showing them baby pictures. Apparently I've always felt the lack, because here I am showing them to you of my own volition! I'm not sure whether this is sweet or creepily narcissistic, but in any case, here they are.
