Happy birthday to me (version 2, part 9)

Another trip around the sun means another check-in with our birthday bear to see how much he has grown. 

Here he is just a few days after I was born:

And after one year:

When I was two, he seemed to get a little smaller:  

And by three years old, he was definitely shrinking: 

He kind of leveled out around age four:

But he started shrinking again at five:

And at six:  

And at seven:

 

By last year, the guy was almost tiny:

And now, nine years later, this guy is still super cute but definitely undersized: 

Luckily, I haven't changed at all. And the bear is still big enough to get angry when you make fun of how small he is: 

Of course, there is someone in the house who just keeps growing too much ...

... but he's kinda cute and cuddly too.
