I have a set of memories that come from way back, and they are pleasant. My brother-in-law swears he has memories from when he was 9 months old, but his Mom and siblings doubted him. I have early memories and it is interesting to see if I can figure out how old I was from the memories. I think my earliest memories are from when I was maybe a year old. My younger brother was born 11 months after me, and I remember us in cribs side by side.
