In real life: childhood memories
Sunday, January 16, 2011I was tagged by Elle @ Fast Food & Fast Fashion to share my baby pictures awhile back and I finally found the time to dig up and scan a few.
In the bottom left image, I'd guess I was practically a newborn. My mom likes to tell the story that my eyes were my best feature, the thing she first noticed when I was born. (Were being the key word because I have terrible eye sight now). Just curious, how much did you weigh at birth? I was average, a little over 6 lbs. And now I've grown to an average height of a little over 5'4". That's me, average to a T.
Growing up, I always had medium-to-long hair. (Thank you Mom for never subjecting me to the Chinese bowl haircut!) Since I didn't really had a say (or didn't really care?), I sported bangs for a good 2/3 of my life. Blunt cut bangs, side-swept bangs that looked like a cowlick gone wrong, you name it, I probably had it. Since I have thick, wavy, and frizzy hair, they didn't fall nice and silkily and definitely didn't frame my face. Ahh! I'm getting a mental nightmare just thinking about it. So I'll leave you with a not-so-horrible pic of me with bangs from when I was a child.

ReplyDeleteElle tagged me too, I found pictures but haven't had a chance to scan them in.
Thanks for sharing :)
Awe....just adorable!!!! Love looking at old pics!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteCee, these are adorable pictures. Thank you for sharing. You have beautiful eyes. When I saw your picture on the right, "before" reading your post, I thought to myself, "oh, how beautiful those eyes are." I have to tell Cee that. And of course, that was the first thing you mentioned in the post. :) Your Mom is right. :)
ReplyDeleteYay, Cee's baby pics. You are SOOO cute. And my parents totally wrapped me up like a large burrito when I was a baby too.
ReplyDeleteI think I was almost 7 pounds when I was born, my maternal grandmother was convinced I was a boy though my brother was a tad more than 6 pounds when he was born. I guess I was just a really large child. :)
Those photos are just adorale. Your eye are beautiful. My Mom told me I was super tiny when I was born (a little over 5 lbs - I think). Thanks for sharing your precious photos with us.
ReplyDeleteYou were such a cute baby! :) She is right, you do have pretty eyes!
ReplyDeleteCee - thanks 4 sharing! You were such a CUTIE PATOOTIE!!!
ReplyDeleteAww, Cee - you are sooooo cute! I can relate with the thick/frizzy hair - I so envied all the other Asian girls with the stick-straight/silky hair. Thankfully, post-baby, I lost a LOT of hair and it has thinned a little so it's much more tame - especially with the help of a straightening iron. I think I was a little over 6 lbs at birth.
ReplyDeleteyou're so cute as a kid! i think we all had crazy hair growing up -- it's part of the fun in looking back at old pictures. :)
ReplyDeletecute and little
You are so adorable. Look at those eyes. Thanks for sharing Cee.
ReplyDeleteawww! so cute!!!!!! I don't know about other people, but I love little girls with wavy hair, the more messy hair, the cuter in my opinion ;) My hair as a kid was mostly bald-ish and nappy, since my hair is so thin, even to this day.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear from you. Constructive criticisms welcome!
