Baby Queen Victoria

Tweet

I think I look a bit like a baby Queen Victoria in this photo. Sitting on my throne ready to command my subjects. i was four months old in the summer of 1957. My parents had friends who lived in Westbury, Connecticut and rented out rooms and bungalows to their Latvian friends. My mother chose to spend the summer with me there to avoid the terrible heat of NYC. My father worked during the week and would visit us on the weekends. Sitting in that high chair heaven help my subjects if I gave out a cry and no one came. Then the bawling would start and things got kind of loud. My mother got a break on the weekends because I was daddy's princess and he spent at much time with me as he could. Let us not even discuss what happened on Monday mornings when I discovered daddy gone. On the photo it says Sept 1957 because that was when the film was developed
