Happy Birthday to Me 13

Today is my birthday. (No, it's not a decade one.) And, as it's Thursday, it's time for a Thursday 13. 

Several years ago, my brother got all of our very old pictures digitized. And then he uploaded them to Google Images. In honor of my birthday, I'm posting images of me as a kid. Just because. 

1. Me as a newborn. Although, I have a couple pics where I had just... ahem... emerged, I think I'll go with one after I've been cleaned up a bit. 

2. I searched year by year, and this is me at somewhere near one-year-old. 

3. I do not remember this pic, but I recognize the couch, and I recognize the room. This was taken in the house I grew up in, in the living room. (The kitchen was behind that wall behind me.) 

4. Same location as photo #3, just a different angle. And about a year later. 

5. My hair still kind of curls like that. But I wear it longer now, so I can kind of tame that weird wave away. 

6. I vaguely remember this dress. 

7. As the years go on, it gets harder to find pictures of me solo. The feet and hand to the right of me in this photo are of my brother. 

8. I look perturbed. I don't know why I was perturbed. But I loved this dress. 

9. The year I was the Pink Panther for Halloween. (Mom made the costume. Mom made all my costumes until the costumes stopped somewhere around junior high.)

10. Not my cowboy hat. But we kids liked "borrowing" the cowboy hat. 

11. I remember this jacket. I don't remember anything else from this photo. 

12. The t-shirt says "Catalina" as in Catalina Island. (We had visited not long before this.) 

13. Me in glasses. I think I still have this pair lying around somewhere. I started wearing contact lenses when I was a freshman in high school.
