Proudly displaying jazz hands since 1981...


I've often (in the last 2 weeks) wondered if my jazz hands started due to my many dance classes as a child, or was I just born awesome?  After raiding my parents boxes of unorganized photos, and creating a new project for my mom, I realized it's the latter.  That's right Chicken, I've met your challenge (maybe it has to do with me living in Texas at the time?) and will now take you all through the infancy evolution of my awesomeness.  Try not to be overwhelmed by the cuteness, and please ignore the quality of the photos.  Well, let's be honest they're pictures of a picture stuck in an album that I'm too lazy to scan in since scanning takes FOR-EV-ER!

At 2 weeks you can see the hands start to peek out

At 9 weeks the flare begins to form, but it's not quite there


And here I am at 4 months proudly displaying the jazz hands!  I also learned to flash the world early on, some things never change!

By the 1 year mark I had the move down:

Rattle and a jazz hand, I'm that good!

Learning how to walk? Use jazz hands to keep your balance


Love the perm mom!


The Supremes personally taught me this move.

I hear there's more coming from fellow bloggers...don't forget to do your part and join the revolution!

**UPDATE**

Amanda from It's Blogworthy has officially joined the Revolution, and even busted out a graph, you really can't argue with the facts!

Amazing. You were gifted since birth. Must have had something to do with your mom's perm, but I am not sure how yet. I'll get back to you.

Holy crap. I didn't realize our posts were a little similar. So that means I basically called you ghetto for taking a picture of a picture! HA!

Yeah, you're just awesome, because I was a dancer my whole lofe and don't do jazz hands.

love love love the pics.

I think it was mandatory for every child in the 80's to have that hard plastic swimming pool. Why exactly did we love it so much? It was like sitting in a bathtub on the patio.
