Another Sepia Saturday and another chance to use one of the MANY baby photos from the family photo collection. That giggly little baby is Elizabeth “Betsy” Dijkema, daughter of Albert Dijkema, brother to my husband’s grandmother, and Jantje Oosting. She’s sitting in a buggy, holding on to what looks like a teddy bear hanging over the side while laundry dries on a line behind her. This was likely taken in Holland in about the 1930s. Pretty short and sweet this week! I’ve actually been in contact with a daughter of Betsy’s, so it’s pretty neat to be able to connect this to a living relative in Holland.
What a cute picture! Looks like a very happy baby.
The baby is adorable. Such a happy scene.
I’m glad to read that Betsy 8s giggling, because my first thought was rhat she was crying. Sometimes the difference between happy and unhappy babies is no morw than a split second.
Very sweet.
Ah the millions of diapers that the babies needed to have washed! That was the age before Pampers and Huggies, and I switched in the late 60s to plastic diapers with my second son. Glad to see the pictured baby is giggling!
Such a happy baby. Loving her comfy ride I’m sure.
It is exciting when things come together like that, and such a happy photo of baby laughing at mum having to do all the washing.
