we have nearly 10 years of digital pictures on our external hard drives.  We have two of them and the pictures are on both.  I say nearly because i have had a few computer crashes over the years where I had lost months of pictures… but we are (knock on wood) in pretty good shape these days because I try to back up regularly and often.  Jordan and I were having a discussion about one of his bears the other day:

me: Did you know this was your very first bear?

he: no

me: Aunty Paula gave it to you when you were a brand new itty bitty baby!

he: i don’t remember

me: I have pictures, do you want to see?

he: YEAH!

so i go searching.  they’re labeled in folders by year and then by month within the year. aww, what a sweet happy over exposed baby. what was I trying to blind him with the flash on my sony2 megapixel?

oh I am a happy baby. but you’re killing me with that flash mom.  you really should figure out how to take pictures with out it. but i still love you…

Okay. now I’m getting a little annoyed. I see the way you’re looking at my baby. don’t even think about it.

and this last one on the right: If you try to take my baby, I’ll knock you out! (ps, he’s a lefty too)

oh.my.gosh. we laughed so so hard when that picture came up.  which then lead into watching baby videos.  Janel was disappointed at the brevity of the videos.  I had to explain to him, sorry son, but 9 years ago, I was shooting with a Sony Mavica recording on a 1.44 floppy. I was excited to get the 15 seconds of video! hee hee. funny how times and technology change so quickly.

Tonight at bedtime, as I walked Jordan to his bed, he asked me:

Jordan: Mom when were you a baby?

me: a long time ago.

Jordan: How come you don’t have any baby pictures?

me: I do, do you want to see them?

Jordan: yes!

Jalen, shouting from his bedroom: They’re in black and white!

me: NO.THEY.ARE.NOT!

okay now. if your baby pictures are in black and white, I am not saying anything against you. but really. Jalen was serious. silly child.

so anyway. we’ve been all about the baby pictures this week and then what do I see on Two Peas Digi Tuesday?  this absolutely yummy baby boy kit.  I love the blue, green and white.  The hot air balloons and clouds? yes please.  elephants and polka dots? yes and yes please again!
