While putting together my baby shower a couple of months ago, my sister asked me if I had any baby pictures of the CPA and me. I had plenty of me – no problem. But it wasn’t until that moment that I realized I didn’t know what my husband looked like as a little boy.
And suddenly, I just had to know.
So I contacted my sweet mother-in-law and asked her if I could borrow some pictures of her son.
She sent me a whole stack.
I opened the package and gasped in delight. I should have known, but it was nice to see my suspicions confirmed – my husband was (and is) adorable! (Side note: Look at those long legs – and here I wonder why my belly is poking out the way it is? All I have to do is look at these pictures to find the answer!)
Let’s start with the CPA at four months old – what a happy baby!
At 10 months old, you can start to see what he’s going to look like as he grows older.
(How cool is it to see those old cars in the background? Got to love 1955!)
This next picture was taken when he was one year old. I wish he still had that hat! Go Davy Crockett!
Next we get to see him with his brothers. He’s the third youngest out of four boys (his sister came last).
Seriously – don’t you just want to squish his little cheeks?
Now he’s starting to get a little older, as we see in this Christmas photo from 1956. And he’s got a little brother too, so he’s no longer the youngest.
(He’s in the white pajamas in front.)
Here we see him as he’s maturing and being the big brother to his youngest sibling.
What’s really neat about this next photo is to see how much he looks like his dad. This picture shows all the boys together with the CPA sitting beside his dad’s left knee.
I can hardly handle the cuteness!
We can’t leave out his mom because that just wouldn’t be fair. Besides, she’s the one who gave birth to all these little guys so she definitely needs some credit too!
(The CPA is the one wearing the gun belt – a popular accessory for little boys at that time.)
Before moving to the school pictures, I have to include one of all the boys in their suits. How adorable are they?
Next we have the first of the school pictures – here is the CPA long before he became a CPA, all the way back in 1961. He was seven at the time.
Then again a year later in 1962…
and lastly, in 1964 at 10 years old.
Be still my heart. That is one sweet little boy.
It’s funny to look back and see what my husband looked like as a little one. It’s even more amazing to try and imagine which of his characteristics our little guy will have. Will he have those pouty lips that I love? Will he get those cute little ears that stick out ever so slightly? Or will he have his long eyelashes and pretty hazel eyes?
These are some of the things that I can hardly wait to find out. But with these pictures, at least now I have an idea.
Who do your children look like – do they favor one parent more than the other in their looks?
