Maybe "нашей с пелёнок"?
Но это выражение используется обычно взрослыми: "они дружат с пелёнок", то есть, с самого раннего детства.

I'll have to remember that expression for myself when talking with old friends. :)

Most of it doesn't make any sense. Where did you take this context from?

It's a conversation sample. I have tons of audio I have to go through, most of which is workable for me. But then there are bits like this that challenge my understanding of even the basics of Russian grammar! :)

Can you provide this particular audio for downloading? I could listen to it and check what they are speaking indeed.

I keep wondering why so many people don't read comments before posting their own.

Er... because they don't care? (Your rusty community moderator)

Yeah, that's the problem. Or not a problem, if you don't care. (Does you mentioning being a moderator mean I'm pushing some limits?)

Not at all, it's just me being knee-deep in happy tears. A real post in the community I considered dead for years!

In addition to what's already been said:

Kid: нас было пять и ещё

I guess и ещё is и сё, which in the girl child's language means и всё.

I went back and listened and that's definitely possible. Her speech sounds are not so great, so sometimes she says щ when she's trying to say с and vice versa. She said всё very clearly in other instances, but this could have been a time that she missed the mark.
