My dad recently mailed me a package of old baby pictures and school-aged pictures of yours truly and I’ve been having fun reminiscing and comparing the baby pics of me to pictures of my kids. This picture immediately jumped out at me:

We’ve come a long way folks. I can remember my dad commenting on how simple my baby walker was and man he wasn’t kidding!
Let’s compare shall we:

Yeah… she’s basically riding a Cadillac in comparison to my Fred Flinstone’s car.
On another note… do you think we look alike?

Yep, I remember those walkers too. In fact, my daughter fell half way down the basement stairs in one of those, but she was caught half way down in mid-air. I’ll never forget it. My heart was in my throat knowing that a concrete floor is what she would’ve landed on.

Very much alike!
My sister had the exact walker….funny thing is that’s probably the only kind they made in the 70’s-80’s.

Yep, you lived in the stone age! Just wait until MM or BB asks you if you’re older than dinosaurs.
You were a darling baby and I see similarities between you & BB!

So cute but now I can’t tell who looks like you — mm or bb. PS: Those fred flintstone walkers were so dangerous. I remember my little brother falling down a set of stairs in one.
