This was taken at Monroeville Mall, in Pittsburgh, PA on 28 August 2000. I was 24, Jessyka was almost 8 months old, and Eric was 27 at the time of this photo. We are no longer together, Eric and I, so please try to ignore him.


This was taken at Jessyka's dad's place in Pittsburgh, PA on 8 January 2000. I was 25, Jessyka had just turnd a year old the day before this photo was taken, and Eric was 28.


This is my former-friend, Mary, holding my daughter, Jessyka, when she was 1 month old. :-)


This is Jessyka at 2 months old!


This is another pic of Jessi at 2 months old..Isn't she gorgeous?!


This is Jessyka at 2 weeks old sleepin in her car seat, just after I'd gotten her bundled up to go out with some now former friends of our's. She threw such a FIT when I put her in that jacket!:-)


This is another of Jessyka at 2 weeks old after a bath, and a lot of screaming at me like I was torturing her. LOL :-)


Sluggish after a feeding of yummy Similac and cereal! MMMM!!!!


A funny thing about this picture, her brother had his picture taken when he was 5 weeks old (the same age Jessyka is in this photo) sitting on his father's lap right before we went to a Christmas party, and he was going to stay the night with Nana Michelle and Grandpa Bill, Andrew's step-mother and father. They were going to give us a break from parenting for the night. In this photo, however, Jessyka was looking at her Winnie-the-Pooh mobile I had just wound up for her, and it startled her. I'd just fed and bathed her, put clean clothes on her, and put her in her crib. She looked so beautiful, I just had to take a picture of her. How ironic that she made the same face as her brother did all those years ago, at the exact same age! :-)


6 weeks old, and fat!! She's wearing an outfit my grandmother on my mother's side made for her, one of my favourite outfits to dress her in! :-)


Another 6 weeks old pic this time with Mary holding her, and Peanut standing guard. Actually, he just wanted to be part of the fun, the big knuckle-head! Jessyka loved that dog. :-)


Here's one of my former-friend, Mary, again holding Jessyka, with one of her many cats investigating, and Peanut, her dog, standing guard. lol Jessyka is about 2 weeks old in this photo.


My beautiful son, Wolfgang, at around 5 or 6 months of age, at lunchtime. :-)


The saddest day of my life...
