They named me Amy after a Bobby Darin love song that was popular around the time of my birth.
They put me in cute little pink dresses with matching girly shoes.
But everywhere they took me, people would say to them, "Oh, what a cute little baby boy you have!"
To which my Mom would
(Bless her heart.)
My Mom realized the reason every one thought that I was a boy was due to the fact that I was bald.
(Bless her heart.)
My Mom was so tired of hearing how cute her little boy was that she decided to take action.
You know the old saying, "Duct tape can fix anything"?
Well, my Mom didn't use duct tape to fix the problem. (Much to my relief, I'm sure.)
No, she used Scotch tape instead.
If you look closely, you will notice that the bow is resting on the tape, not my head.
(Bless my heart!)
Thankfully, for me and my Mom, just a couple of years later, my hair finally grew in.
(This is my Dad's favorite picture of me as a little girl.)
God made up for those first couple of years of my life that were spent in a constant state of baldness.
Sigh.
And Shannon, if you're reading this, I told you that I was a natural blond.
I'm just saying.
Now it's your turn, my bloggy buddies. Do you have any baby pictures with funny stories attached to them?
If so, I'm tagging you to do a post about them.
I would love to see your baby pictures and to hear your funny stories.
So, if you want to do this tag, just let me know, so that I can stop by your blog and take a peek.
Psalms 139:13
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
