Taking a portrait picture

I remember when they took a portrait picture of me when I was not yet a year old (in 1908 or 1909). I am sitting because I couldn't stand yet. In the picture, I was in a chair with a little stuffed animal in my hand.

I remember them giving me the stuffed animal while this man, who was under a big black cover, was taking the picture.
