First Blog!!

Okay. I'm starting a blog for the first time and wish I had actually begun earlier. The main purpose is to write about DJ and all of the changes and adventures that we experience but I'm sure I'll add some other stories as well.

So let's see DJ is six weeks old today and I can hardly believe that the time has gone by so fast. I would have thought that with staying home the time would creep on by but that has surely not been the case. I'm trying my hardest to savor each precious moment with him for I know the next time I turn around he'll be off to college.

In the six short weeks that he has been here, DJ has brought such pleasure to us. We haven't gotten on a set routine yet but I am starting to see some kind of pattern. Currently he's eating about every 2-3 hours. He loves being held as I'm sure most babies his age do. I do believe he is beginning to stay awake longer during the days which makes for a better night's sleep for all of us...sometimes. Last night he woke up a few times and then decided to stay awake from 4:30 am until 6:00 am. Thankfully David was wonderful last night and changed him a couple of times and then snuggled with him so I could get some sleep. I'm sure it makes for a long work day though.

DJ's first Halloween was this past Saturday. He was the cutest giraffe that we've ever seen!! Omie and Opie came over to watch him while David and I had a few hours over at The Browns' home. I only stayed away a short while to feed but then headed back...it's nice having friends so close!

Today is my grandmother's birthday. She passed away March 11, 2008 and we still miss her very much. I wish she could have met David James but know she is looking down at us every
moment.

We don't have any wild plans for the day...maybe go for a walk later. I'll update when possible!
Oh, since I didn't start sooner I'm going to go ahead and post pictures since DJ's birth.
