Life With Jessica

Life, as it seemed, circulated around Jessica.

Firstly there was the ubiquitous welcome home, and the ritual fed/burp/poop/play (not precisely in that order) routine.

Although Malcolm accompanied mommy and baby home, he STILL didn't quite acknowledge his own daughter, staying just long enough to make sure everyone was settled in.

Hmm, something's amiss here..... must investigate.

It appeared that he was just nervous around the new born and didn't quite know how to handle things.

Nancy continued calling Sonia, asking for Jessica's progress. But, as babies go, there wasn't much to actually go on. All she ever did was eat, sleep, poop and occasionally giggle.

But that didn't mean that there was a distinct lack of bonding going on.
That wasn't the case here.

If it wasn't mommy holding, feeding and snuggling Jessica.




It was Big Bro, Andrew too.



He simply adored her to bits and would often be found, regardless of how stressed and tired from work and school, talking to her, snuggling and playing.



Sometimes he was so rough, Sonia often wondered how Jessica managed to keep her formula down. But she did. What a strong stomach that kids' got!!!



She loved his tummy raspberries though and would giggle uncontrollably whenever he did them to her.



In between Jessica's naps (which were often very long, especially after a big meal), Sonia managed to make some time brushing up on her painting skills and Andrew hung out at the beach, meeting and making new friends.



This is the grown up Kaylynn Langerak.



Life with Jessica was really hectic, but wonderful, as she was such a quiet and content baby.


Happiest some times, just laid in the crib, staring up at the mobile, and cooing quietly to herself.
Unless of course she'd managed to soil her diaper.

Then all hell would break loose!!!!!
