beefy, bulky, baby banessa

          Yesterday I was pondering about babies; yes random, but I love them... I mean who doesn't? Sooo.. I decided to take out some old photo albums. A couple weeks ago I was at my friends' house and we looked through a bunch of their old baby pictures and I just could not stop smiling. I did the same with my brother's, sister's and my own yesterday. Nothing but pure joy. It brought me to tears how fast we grow up, and how much I've transformed through the Lord all these years. It's quite exquisite I must say.  

          Moving onnn; basically I was 10 pounds when I was born. Nothing but pure fat, joyousness, and God's beautiful creation. I'd say I was a pretty solid baby.. maybe not the cutest, but definitely one of the largest and buoyant. I was very cheerful and playful as my mom would say, and I used to do some pretty inordinate stuff. I would eat gum from underneath the tables at restaurants and throw down sand at the beach like there's no tomorrow. I pretended to be asian for about two years of my childhood and entering kindergarten, I achieved a new-found obsession for red ants with one of my close friends, Joseph. In fact, we loved them so much we decided to put them in our pants. Good story, huh? Well, I thought so.

           I'm going to have to admit that my childhood memories were def. the best. I was such an odd child--still am actually, but whatevs. I'm just glad I have fascinating stories to share as I grow older & older. God is good, and He's made me exactly the way He wants me to be.
