I’m headed to a baby shower this afternoon for a friend whose baby I am eagerly anticipating meeting. In their honor, here is a mother-and-child related post. Maybe you’ll find it as entertaining as I do, and you’ll click through Retronaut’s link to see the rest—because there are more and they’re good.

‘This was a practice where the mother, often disguised or hiding, often under a spread, holds her baby tightly for the photographer to insure a sharply focused image.’
