Elaine and I had been married for a little less than 5 years at the time this picture was taken back in 1954. It was family tradition to have a 6-Month picture of every child. In addition to Carolyn's picture we also have this one of she and her older brothers. Tim was a few days short of being 2 and Verlon was 3 1/2. The little vests and trousers were handmade as well as their matching shirts. Carolyn's little blue dress was one of her baby gifts. Little boys were really dressed-up in those days if they wore a bow-tie and had saddle shoes. The Photographer was not one to put kids at ease and minutes after this picture was taken, all 3 were ready to get out of there. It's very interesting to watch the development of our Great Granddaughter and realize with our children being as close as they were, we didn't really have time to enjoy them to the fullest. Oh Yes!! Elaine got pregnant with Jon a few weeks after the picture was taken.
