Valen Jude

we have been home for almost two whole days now, things are going fairly well, well as good as we thought they would be at least. dahlia has been a little frustrated and cranky, just wanting all of our attention is hard for her. when i am feeding him she is mad and just cries. i am so glad justin is available this week to help out, i could definitely not do this alone! she seems to like him overall, just gets a little jealous sometimes. she wants to give him smooches a lot so that is a good sign (= they are more like head butts though(=

we did in fact choose a name for him, it is Valen Jude... Valen with a long A sound.... like as in kale or male..... he has his own blog now too! the only problem with him so far is he woke up every two hours last night to eat, and during the day he wants to go 3 or 4... so he has his days and nights mixed up but that will change i am sure. i dont mind getting up to feed him, it just takes a few minutes to wake up. he is so sweet though! doesnt cry much at all!! hopefully he will stay that way!

So, let me get this straight:
In 1927, the BBC premiered the first disc jockey (DJ). Then, 54 years later in 1981, MTV premiered the first video jockey (VJ).

You, in Jan. 2006, premiered Dalia Jade (DJ). Then, 16 months later in May 2007, you premiered Valen Jude (VJ).

Coincidence? I think not!

Congrats guys! Welcome Valen!

You two have beautiful children!!! I know it is probably difficult for Dahlia not to be the center of attention anymore, but Aloria went through a similar thing when I started baby sitting Caleb, and now she is mostly over it. It'll pass as you get a routine down, etc... Lots of love!
