Not my kids, but I've been scanning some of my mom's negatives, and here's one of me and my brother:

Welcome to the 1970s, where every coffee table had a zither on it.

haha. we should have a thread where we put kid photos of ourselves next to photos of our kids at the same age

That is a good idea. I think my girls' early years are approx 2000x more thoroughly documented than mine were though - it's slim pickings.

yeah. same. i have maybe 3 or 4 photos of me under 12.

My mom was a ridiculous photographer. When she died, I inherited like 50,000 or more negatives, slides, and prints. I'm working my way through the negatives and slides with a Nikon Coolscan, but it's slow going. B&W is especially tough, since the auto dust removal algorithms don't work on them.

What a treasure trove!
Here are a couple - not by me - from school. Welsh sprinter Christian Malcolm came by for sports day and, pro that he is, sat there for photos with *every* kid in the school! The guy is five-nine (and had PBs under 10.1 and 20.1 back in his prime), so hopefully an inspiration to Ava as what can be achieved with relatively short pins...

Heh. Kind-of. At least for identicals. Although in this case, Ben lost his left front tooth a few years ago, after chipping it.

yeah she seemed pretty happy for the first half of it then decided she wanted to get down. the rest of the time we were at the zoo she had to keep making sure we weren't going to make her get back on the carousel.

the carousel was actually stopped when i took that pic. but she was done with it.
