Why aren't the pictures better

It seems like I've spent my free time pouring over the paperwork, the English part at least. I've even stared at the Chinese script trying to discern meaning. So far I've ascertained little, only that he had 0 teeth at 6 months and has 10 teeth at 18 months. The pictures are the worst though, I know there's detail there, in that grainy faxed & re faxed & Re faxed picture, maybe if I stare at them long enough they'll magically reveal more detail. oh well
