Vox Hunt: Babe Up In Arms
Show us a picture of you when you were a baby.

I tweaked the title of the Hunt, so you will get some sort of idea of what kind of baby I was. I was loud. I was demanding. I would shriek until my face was an iridescent purple. If I was carried out of a room leaving a single eardrum intact, it was considered a very stunning defeat.
I was fat. I had a full head of dark hair. And I believed in the morality of crawling: as both expression and locomotion, it was a child's right. A right of passage, so to speak. I investigated all aspects of crawling - backwards, forwards - until giving into society's demands and sense of shame and deciding to stand up on two legs. I'm not sure how old I was - Mother claims I was nineteen, but I have not yet confirmed that fact.
Anyway, I will never ignore an opportunity to post my picture. So here I am, Baby Aubrey: demanding to know where the hell I am, and wondering if I could somehow use my eyes to get that Kodak Brownie out of my face:

I've been having a much harder time keeping up with neighbor posts since, well, before, and feel I've missed quite a lot of postings lately, happy to see your name on a comment list today.
Awesome! I love the demanding babies! (all three of mine were, and it has stood them in good stead in their lives..)
Oh, my! My first camera was a Brownie!!!
