This is my brother, John; he is maybe nine months old here (I am probably almost three). My mom always said that he looks like he’s scared I will crush him. And frankly, if I had those chins behind me, I would be scared, too.
Clearly we were not underfed as children.
For everyone who mocked my pants, let me just say I GOT OFF EASY.
John’s pants had a WIDE white belt on them, and I SWEAR there is a picture somewhere of him in these SAME pants and a plaid shirt. My mother says I’m making that up but I am MOST CERTAINLY NOT. Why on earth would I make that up?
I don’t know when this picture was taken, but I think we’re about the same ages that Henry and Charlie are now. Sometimes Charlie looks so much like John that it scares me. If you gave the boy in the photo a buzz cut, he would look exactly like my son. Meanwhile, my brother and I look NOTHING like each other, and were once asked which one of us was adopted.
I just want to know who bought us those pajamas.

My sister and I used to get that, “So who’s adopted?” question a lot… People can be dumb.

All of these pictures are awesome. I don’t know what it is, but I love it when bloggers post pictures from their past. Thanks for sharing!

so cute! I need to scan in some of mine. 70s style should have stayed lost, imho.
If I only take my younger two out somewhere, people assume one is adopted. Their coloring is opposite. My oldest one is a blend of them.h

It probably says something about my childhood that I see well-fed and think “well-loved.”
I had a pair of jeans when I was 8 that were flared and had 1/4 inch metal studs down the legs. I thought I was stylin’. But I still envied a classmate’s burgundy corduroys that has “Boogie” spelled in rhinestones on the pocket.

Funny - my sister (who IS adopted) and I often get the “You two look so much alike!” Really? I don’t think so. She’s tall, I’m short. She’s a brunette, I’m a red-head.

Love the pictures - the first one looks like it could have been stolen out of my husband’s baby book! My best pj picture is of me in my brother’s pajamas - so wrong on so many levels. Thanks for sharing the laugh.

Thanks for motivating me to get out the camera last night and photograph the wee ones in their jammies…. I can’t wait for their first prom date so I can dig out THAT photo….
