Now they're baby Erwic! Although he is starting to distinguish the difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2322781 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 22:20:39 +0000 birdofafeather 2322781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep. she knows and says, that's row row! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2322480 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 18:41:14 +0000 yin 2322480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 understands that he was once a baby, but he thinks most baby pictures are of his brother. LO2 thinks all of the baby pictures are his picture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2322144 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:33:16 +0000 Maysprout 2322144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost 2 year old doesn't seem to. Sometimes she'll say 'that's me?!' But other times she angrily exclaims 'I'm not a baby'. My 4 year old has gotten it for awhile. I know by 2.5 she liked looking back on her baby pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2321988 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 14:39:42 +0000 fancyfunction 2321988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She does know it's her and loves to look at different albums. What surprises me is that when she sees pics of me as a baby/kid she knows it's me too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2321982 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 14:35:08 +0000 NurseDMB 2321982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2 and has been recognizing himself in pics for a long time, but only if they're like 9 months plus. If I show him his newborn pics, he just says its a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2321126 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 10:01:05 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2321126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She can tell her baby pictures from her sisters baby pictures which shocks me because DH can't always tell them apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2321111 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:56:37 +0000 Corduroy 2321111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 2.5 she got that they are pictures of her as a baby. But now that DS is here and looks just like she did in the pictures hanging on our wall she gets upset that they are all pictures of him. I think she likes the attention she gets as we explain it to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2321105 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:55:13 +0000 erinbaderin 2321105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does as long as they're fairly recent - he's 21 months and he definitely recognizes the picture on the wall from his 1 year cake smash as him. It's funny because instead of me he says "MY!" when we ask who it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2321103 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:54:26 +0000 Bubbles 2321103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, he can easily recognise current pics of himself or even ones where he looks vaguely like a toddler, but baby pics are just 'a baby'! He's 21 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2321102 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:54:15 +0000 PurplePeony 2321102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up to a certain age (7-8 months) they're just pictures of babies. After that, she recognizes that it's her. She started being able to do that around 18 months, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2321100 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:53:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2321100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 10.5 months, I have no idea, but she laughs when she sees the picture of her on my phone and she doesn't do it with other baby pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2321067 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:47:46 +0000 mediagirl 2321067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She knows that it is her. She gets really confused when I show her pics of DH and me as kids, though. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2320973 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:26:41 +0000 Alivoo01 2320973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! He just points and says "baby!" but when we tell him it's him, he just looks at us like we're crazy. He's 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2320949 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:19:34 +0000 jmarionsmith 2320949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does but he doesn't seem too impressed by it. He's more blown away by pictures of DH &amp; me as babies/kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2320933 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:14:32 +0000 MrsH 2320933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have pictures on the wall that she points to and then points to herself and says her name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2320932 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:14:24 +0000 LuLu Mom 2320932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have "baby Emme" on our gallery wall because she wanted to be by "baby Everly" (says our 3 year old.) So her "big" picture on the wall is still her baby picture at her request. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2320930 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:14:14 +0000 MrsF 2320930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old understands, but it still seems like it blows her mind a little. </p> <p>This morning she asked me when she was a baby was she a "girl baby" or a "boy baby". :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2320925 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:12:12 +0000 nana87 2320925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think she recognizes herself in recent pictures as herself yet (she's 18 months), much less from when she was younger. she loooooves looking at pictures, but she usually points other people out and if I ask who's that pointing to her, she doesn;t answer (though if it's me, she says "mama," and same for other people) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2320848 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 08:52:28 +0000 yellowbird 2320848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She recognizes when a picture is of her, but all other babies are usually ds, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2320840 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 08:51:04 +0000 JoJoGirl 2320840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She does, and it's hilarious. She always says "DAT'S ME WHEN I WAS A LITTLE TINY BABY!". Everything is always about a 'little tiny baby'. It cracks me up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2320833 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 08:49:55 +0000 lovehoneybee 2320833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the most part...he'll see pictures and say "That's baby Evan!" We talk about how he used to be a little baby, and now he's a big boy, and when baby sister comes home she's going to be little like he used to be, but someday she'll be big like he is now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-understand-baby-pictures-are-them#post-2320814 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 08:44:13 +0000 Bao 2320814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When looking through baby pictures of your LO, do they understand it is them as a baby or do they think it's just another baby? My three year old just grasped the concept so it has been fun showing her baby photo albums! </p>
