still frames

Dylan,

I'm sure that when you're an adult you'll have an entirely different perspective on what constitutes a "normal" amount of pictures of one's childhood. For mom and i, we're happy to be able to look back at a few dozen images of our grade school years, after they've been dug out of drawers, closets, scrap-books and shoe boxes across the country. When you're in our shoes you'll probably be looking back at dozens available for each month, or even each week. Maybe it won't seem like a big deal to you, since you'll have had such convenient access to some-odd thousands of digital pictures of yourself on the ubiquitous home computer.

If at some point when you're poring over the plenitudinous volumes of your life's captured moments you should feel the need for an explanation as to the relative dearth of images of yourself aged 6-8 months, well, the camera's busted. We're working on it.
