Earliest Babe Ruth Photo?

[Snapolit1]

Does anyone know what the earliest recognized Babe Ruth photo is? Like as a child?

I bought the below photo from Hunts a few years back. Babe Ruth's family, from a personal photo album. Nice shot of his father, mother, aunt. But whose the little boy in the bottom left? The album page seems to suggest its Babe. Would be nice to confirm that.

I see a little girl at the bottom-left, and the very top of a head next to her. Perhaps Babe had blonde hair as a young child, and his portion of the photo was 99% cut off?

It also appears that the white ink handwriting was written around photos that were previously mounted on the black paper. That white writing likely pertains to the missing photos that would've been mounted on that page.

It looks like a girl, agreed, but one of sons with curly blond hair looked a lot like a young girl at that age. Might be the Aunt's daughter.

The phot was mounted on the black page before it was removed to sell in the Hunts' Babe Ruth auction.

Here's an early childhood photo of Ruth that Heritage sold a few years ago.

Hair noticeably darker but I see some similarities in the hair and rather large ears for a child.
