Jessi & Becky
1998
April 1998
Jessi - almost 3 years old
Becky - 4 months old

At 4 months old, Becky fits perfectly in Jessi's doll stroller!!
Jessi finally go to meet her little sister after three long months (Jessi wasn't allowed to visit the NICU - not even for 5 minutes).  As Jessi was holding Becky, she asked, "Is this my baby?  Where's your baby, Mommy?"
Halloween
Jessi - 3 years old
Becky 9 months old

Jessi was a cheerleader and Becky was a pumpkin.  We drove around and visited all the girls' grandparents and great-grandparents for Halloween treats.
At 11 months old, Becky learned how to hold her own bottle (if she was laying on the floor).
September 1998
3 years old

Jessi began 3-year old preschool.  She went two days a week.  It was a nice way for her to get out and play with kids her own age since we had to be careful about exposing Becky to germs.  Jessi brought home a few cold germs, but nothing major.
February
While Becky was in the NICU, Jessi thought she would add a touch of "normal" to our lives and cut her own hair - TWICE!!  The first time (the day Becky was born), she cut a tiny bit above her ear.  The second time (the day we learned of Becky's brain damage), it was more noticable - HER BANGS!  Instead of being upset, it made us laugh.
Jessi and Becky enjoy playing on the floor.
