Baby Bill Reese

Bill was born on June 28, 1960. We named him William Hayne Waring Reese.

 Anne liked him, I think.  But every time I sat down to nurse him, Anne would run out the front door. (She had figured out how to move the little lock on the screen.)

We had a very busy summer.  Bill grew fast; he stood at 8 months and walked by the time he was 9 months old.  I really enjoyed both kids that year.

Anne's birthday tricycle

Anne Flavia was two years old on August 1, 1960.  Bill was just 2 months old.  We were living on Hertel Avenue in Buffalo in a garden-style apartment.  For her birthday Anne got a new red tricycle.

She is so well coordinated, by the end of the day she could not only ride but back up and turn around.

Baby pictures of Anne Reese and Bill Reese

We had a next door neighbor who was an amateur photographer.  His name was Bill Woods. His wife was named Jean and  they had a little girl, Shannon, who was close to Anne's age.  We had good times together.

Bill Woods made these pictures in December of 1960.
