Jedi Baby!

Starting you out early with your own lightsaber, don't worry I make sure you have a lot of supervision so you don't try to chew on the blade! You are already so strong, and so inquisitive about this new world around you. I love you, and I will teach you all sorts of cool things when you're older. Right now just work on feeding correctly, your Mother will thank you.

Finished Star Wars Mobile!

I finished my youngling's mobile today; I finally had a few minutes to work on it today, and I got the fishing line I needed. Fidgeting with the line to get the right angles to make the ship's appear to fly when it spins... My first attempt was good, but when I cranked the wheel, the ships flew backwards! That was unacceptable for you Demitri. So I quickly flipped them around, and got them situated properly and BAM! Your mobile was done, and the best thing about it is, once you're older you can still use them as toys!

Here's a picture of you sleeping in your own little galaxy! (Star Wars blanket was made by your Mommy!

He's Here!

Demitri Godric Lane was born February 10th at 1:01 A.M. He weighed 7lbs 15oz and was 20 1/2'' long.

He's strong in the Force, and I can definitely see the Mandalorian in him, he fought nurses and doctors when they would mess with him, and they were all surprised by his strength!

I love him so much, I have trouble taking my eyes off of him, he's so handsome. I foresee he will become a great Jedi Knight!

I love you Demitri and I pray that you will keep growing and being healthy! Sleep tight my son, I watch over you as you sleep.

I have STARSHIPS!

A good friend of mine graciously donated his rather nice starfighter collection to me so I could create the mobile for our little boy!



and



So now I have the ships I need to make your little mobile. I talk to you every night now, and sometimes you even respond to my voice! I'm looking into getting an ergo carrier so I can carry you around like Luke carried Yoda on Dagobah. I love you, and I know you'll keep growing healthy for me. Be nice to your mother

Love -Your Jedi Dad!

A sneak peek at the youngling.

Hey my very young apprentice, I got to sneak a peek at you Sunday. Technology is so amazing, it can show me your very beautiful features even while you are in your mother's tummy. I got to see what you would look like before you were born, it's almost like getting to see the future. You're still developing such a big personality, you were grabbing your toes, and trying to swing from the umbilical cord. You're already so cute, and I already can't wait to meet you. You stay healthy, and keep getting strong, but don't hurt your Mom with that strength you hear me.

I guess I need to learn to play a few classical rock songs before you're born so I can put you to sleep. Mom says you really like The Doors, so I'll have to learn to play some of their music for your lullabies. Well you are in my prayers you rambunctious young man, keep growing, and don't do things that scare your Mother too often.

-Love Your Jedi Dad.

Teaching you your ABC's the right way

This is a Star Wars alphabet book that we found online I'll be hanging these up around the room for you to look at, and when you're ready to learn how to say them I'll teach you who the people in the pictures are. There will be so many fun stories about heroes and villains that I can tell you, I think you'll grin so big when I tell you how much of a loud mouth Dash Rendar was, or how surprised you'll be when you find out that Vader is really Luke's father.

It's going to be so fun teaching you new things every day, I won't just teach you your ABC's, I'll also teach you how to treat a lady, how to stick up for those who can't defend themselves, and how to take your gifts and use them properly.

Most importantly, I'll teach you how to be a mighty man of God, a little Jedi for Jesus, much like with your ABC's I may use Star Wars to teach you some of life's big lessons, like how to have a servants heart, or how to control your anger so that you don't hurt those around you. I see so much potential in you already, and I look forward to starting your training young padawan!
We found this on Brandon Peat's portfolio, unfortunately he's not offering this file, but I figured it would be good to give credit to the man who made this incredible work of art!

Already strong in the Force.

Last night you were apparently practicing your Force leaps because your mother told me to come feel her tummy so I put my ear there, and blast it you kicked me in the ear so hard I jumped! A father has never been more proud of their son as I was of you today, your mother has a Doctor's appointment tomorrow for your anatomy scan. Well we jumped the gun and got one early, but I get to walk in all smug again and tell the ultrasound tech I know that you're a boy. We'll see how surprised they are when you're crazy old man is right!

Well I just figured I'd drop a few lines for my boy while you're on my mind, since you kicked me in the head. Just go easy on your mother when you get bigger in there, I don't want her getting any bruised ribs or anything. Your mother and I have a neat project for you that I may start on tomorrow. I hope you like how we decorate your area of the room. Well son I love you and I know the Force is with you.

-Love, your Jedi Dad.
