Me too, but I'm not very good at putting them in order.

My first memory was when I was standing outside my bathroom (which is directly at the top of my stairs) waiting on my mum, I stepped back a few times and fell down the stairs. I reeeally hurt myself also. Or the time we bought my first dog I remember the car journey home with her, I was about 3/4 in each of them.

The memories of him coming home one time.

It wasn't until about 5 minutes ago while I was reading through some of the posts that I realised what my earliest memory was.
It's probably the first time I've recalled it.

That reminds me of another memory I have, I can't quite recall if it came before the other one though. I remember my siblings and I having to be quite because my father worked the nightshift and slept most of the day.

walking on the side of my grandparents house and looking at a purple cup sitting on a stump.

Crawling on my Mom's belly in the bathtub.

I think my earliest memory is me asking my mom how old I was. She told me I was three and a quarter. I remember I had no idea what the "and a quarter" meant and I had a mental image myself walking down the street flipping a 25 cent coin.

It's strange how most people retain very early memories throughout the years that seem to have little significance in a person's life.
You would think that deeply imprinted memories from early childhood would be of something intensely memorable or at least very distinct or unique, but it's usually quite the opposite and mundane.

Anyone have any ideas as to why that is?

It's probably because young children have very little frame of reference for what is significant since everything is so brand new to them.

Took me awhile to figure it out but I think my earliest memory was taking off in a plane to go to Disney Land with my mum when I was 3.

I practically lived in Disney World Ocala when I was that age.
