AIBU to be a bit miffed that my mum has no keepsakes or photographs of me as a baby?

For some reason my mum didn't keep anything from when I was a baby or from when she was pregnant. There are no scan pictures, appointment letters, photos of me as a newborn, baby clothes, shoes.. nothing really. There are lots of photos of me as a toddler onwards but nothing from before that. I have spoken to her about it before and she just says that she didn't keep anything. Can I ask older MNers what mementos you have kept of your grown up DCs from when they were babies?

We have a ridiculous amount of photos, some in albums, most still in the sleeves that the prints used to come in.
I have three DC, I have their first shoes, most of their school reports and some pictures, one or two framed ones on the wall still Sado.
I used to have their baby teeth in a little box but got grossed out by them and binned them a few years back.
I still have a load of die cast Thomas the tank engines in a Thomas bag that belonged to DS1 and now DGD plays with them!

PuffinSharon, I used to love going up in my Mum's attic, she had so much stuff, all my old Girls annuals, school stuff and the like, even my Brownie and Guide shirts with the badges sewn on.
She had loads of photos too and old fashioned cine film of me and my brother's childhood along with very old family photos of Gt,Gt grandparents.
I have all of it, can't bring myself to get rid.
