Arnold and Newlin: 1956 Eddie and Allan

In January 1956 Arnie and Newlin keep up with the Infant Boys Percentile Chart to monitor that their sons are developing normally. Allan is year old and Eddie is 28 months old. There is a blurry snapshot of Arnie and Newlin, too, probably heading off to church or a wedding.

The Solar House had a small fire in December 1955 rendering it uninhabitable, so Arnie and Newlin move to a small house (or duplex) in Arlington. Eddie enjoys their new suburban life: riding a tricycle and washing the family car.

Arnold and Newlin: Life with Eddie 1953

 Photos of infant Eddie in 1953, with mom Newlin or with dad Arnie or just by himself. 

Photos like this, showing a woman's breast, were risqué for the 1950s. Arnold was never entirely sure the developer
would not turn hm in to the authorities for lewdness. Breastfeeding was typically banned in public at that time.
