Our first movie together as a family... The Phantom Menace!

Kiddo, you were born on February 10th, which was the same day Star Wars The Phantom Menace came in theaters in 3D. So today we went to go see it, and it was a blast. You were so good throughout the movie, you watched like half of it, but you didn't like how loud the pod racers were when they started up.

We had the whole theater to ourselves which was really cool. Your mommy was able to feed you, and we were able to walk around with you in the theater.

Well your Mommy and I had a fun date, and you got to watch Star Wars.

You looked so good in your little Jedi robes today.

I love you kid, and we'll have many more days of fun as you get older. I love you so much -Your Jedi Dad.

Three Weeks Old!

Demitri, you turned three weeks old on Friday! You're getting so big, and I can tell you are going to be such a strong young man. With that strength comes a responsibility though, I will teach you how to use that strength to help people. Always be aware that if you fly into a rage, you will seldom land well.

I love you so much, you are such a cute kid, even when you're keeping me up all night so your mommy can get some sleep, I can't take my eyes off of you.

Well son I pray that you will continue to grow and I hope you will always know that your Jedi dad loves you.

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.
