This is ME with my beautiful mom!! Do I look STUNNED with excitement or what??
I was ALL of 4 weeks old in this photo. See the 'loot' behind me? The ROCKING horse mom is trying to balance me on... maybe my OWN Christmas tree in white??
I was the First grandchild on BOTH sides.. AND the first girl baby for my granny to play with. Can we spell SPOILED???? Like.. VERY spoiled?? I have a blissful 3.5 yrs until brother 1 came along...
I'm NOT sure he is enjoying HIS first Christmas as much as I did... just saying.....
====================
So who WAS the cutie pie on my blog ???
Well Sherri Falls of 'This & That'!! MY NEW BFF!!!!! She is so adorable.. even more so in person. I was lucky to spend a little time in Houston with her and her husband Paul. Sherri we need to spend a whole dinner chatting next time!!
And only a precious FEW of you picked her, was that dark haired baby throwing you off?
Kersten is the winner of a fabric and some Aurifil threads from ME!

I didn't wager any guesses on who was who... I would not have guessed this correctly, but can see the resemblance to your mother now that I know! LOVE the little brother pic!!!

It was hard trying to figure out who was who, but lots of fun.

Looking at the child, I would have never guessed you. However, I can see you in your mother's face.

Those second kids always come along and mess up a good thing.
Not that I would know anything about it--I was number FIVE!

I was born with LOTS of dark hair!!! And with some 'chemical help' I tend to be a MUCH lighter color .. hehe!!!
Being first grand kid means I got lots of goodies I was MUCH to young for.. the horse being just a EARLY example .. LOL! My grandparents were VERY excited that I arrived!

What a cutie you were on that horse--and your Mother is indeed beautiful..................

I would have picked a totally different pic for you, Pat, but that sure is a cute one of you. Also, your mom does look very beautiful!

Boy, was I off. Your baby picture is so cute Pat! Love your horse, I had one like that when I was little to!

That's too funny!!! I would have never guess that was you. I guess the dark hair did throw me off a bit (I guessed the photo was Gudrun). You were a beautiful baby!

Love you in the photo and you are still a beautiful "baby."
Do you still have the horse? Hope so. Karen

4 weeks? and already riding a hobby horse? You were amazing even then....lol
Posted by: Nancy | November 08, 2009 at 09:00 AM
Me either! I never would have guessed you, Pat, on that horse. What happened to the dark hair? I put you in that blonde category and the frilliest dress. LOL This was fun, but very hard. I doubt I was in contention for any of the blogs prizes. I'm going to check now.
