I’m hooking up with Shell for the wildly popular “Rockin the Baby!” meme today.  It was a great excuse to dig through the FEW digitized baby pics I have available. When Kiddo was a wee little thing (nearly eight, yes EIGHT years ago!) we didn’t have a digital camera. They were new, primitive (my crummy cell phone has more mega pixels), and ridiculously expensive.  His babyhood was cataloged on that splendid old antique called film, so my adorable baby pic choices are limited.

Oh, what I could have done with a DSLR.

I didn’t link up with Shells previous meme “Rockin the Bump” which spread like wildfire across the blogosphere.  I never had any of those artsy professional pregnancy photos taken and the few pics I talked Hubby into snapping are not exactly flattering.  Once again, FILM.  We couldn’t see what they looked like until AFTER they were developed and handed over in a little white envelope.  No editing.  Scary stuff (especially the photo he took while I was in the middle of a contraction).  Not for sharing.

 Why do I feel like an old geezer lamenting the days before television and cordless phones?
