What even are children?

Dear friends who have children, or spend a lot of time in their presence (without cowering in fear, like I do): I’m looking for some help identifying the age of these kids. How old do you think the kids are in this picture?
I know who the three older kids are, but I’m trying to identify the baby. It’s either my father, or my father’s older sister, Elizabeth, who died as an infant. If it’s the latter, then this might be the only picture of her that I know of.

I don't know what a death photo is. What's that?

There's a Polaroid of me holding my first, who was stillborn, in a filing cabinet in my husband's house. The nurses had suggested going home and getting a camera, and when we kept saying no, they took one. They said we might want it later and in fact we did, in that very odd state in which I had had a baby but did not have a baby. I didn't make copies and send them to my relatives, but I did take it out a few times for a reality check.
