The life and times of the Dembo Family
Over Easter weekend, Carl went a little nuts with the digital camera and took about 500 photos, 200 of which had Aiden in them (I think another 100 were of a pepsi can he liked). I finally got around to organizing them into weekly sets, so you can click here to see them that way.
I’m way behind on the video editing, but this was a pretty exciting video so I rushed one up there. This morning was the first time he rolled over by himself! Pretty cool trick! So of course, I grabbed the camera, got it on tape and uploaded it to YouTube. So you can click here to watch it or click on the thumbnail in the sidebar.
Every day is a new adventure it seems!
Got the new photos uploaded and the albums for Week 6 and Week 7 have been added to the Photo Gallery page. I particularly like the photos of Aiden with Grammy, his great-grandmother. There’s a great photo of him holding her finger!
Well, today was Aiden’s first day at Day Care. Honestly, I think he handled it better than Jess and I! I restrained myself from stopping by the center during lunch time because I didn’t want the other kids to make fun of him. You know, those 12 and 15 month old babies can be brutal with the teasing! But he played well, slept well, ate well and was happy as ever when I picked him up. He’s been smiling up a storm lately, and just lights up the room when he does! There’s no feeling quite like having your baby look up at you and smile.
He’s also starting to ‘talk’ just a little bit. Mostly he just says “Ga” and “Ew”, but that’s alright because I generally talk for both of us.
Everyday a new milestone and a new adventure!
OK so I guess I spoke too soon cause last night Aiden was up every hour to hour and a half. It was horrible and Steve was in St. Louis at a conference. I have to tell you after an hour and 15 minutes of trying everything but a bath, I started crying out of pure frustration. Within 15 minutes, he fell asleep. The same thing happened at 6 when he was crying again and after getting maybe 2 hours of sleep there was no way I was getting up yet. I started crying again and again, he fell asleep within 15 minutes. Moral of the story – start crying quicker so he will go back to sleep faster.
He also for the first time giggled yesterday. He did it again today so hopefully he will start doing it all the time.
For some reason, whenever I try to embed a video from YouTube, I crash the whole darn blog. Blech.
So here’s just an old fashioned link to the latest video of Aiden. What’s really cool is that while I couldn’t get video of the c-section, I did record audio so what you hear during that moment of darkness in the beginning of the video, are actually his first cries!
Enjoy!
About 15 hours ago, Aiden Lefty Dembo was born! Official time was 8:49 on January 9th, 2007. Despite staying tight for 36 hours of labor and focing a C-Section, he was only 7 pounds! He’s 19″ inches in length, but I think 2 of those inches were because he had a little bit of a conehead.
Mommy and Baby are both doing great. Happy, healthy, and obviously more than a little sleepy. The way things are scheduled right now, we’ll be in the hospital until Friday, and then we’ll take him home and introduce him to his much furrier older brother, Solo.
Here’s a photo and a video of the little guy. If you click on the photo, you’ll be taken to a gallery of images from his first couple of hours (thanks Dad for uploading those!). Got a bunch more video, but I want to get back to the hospital to take care of the wife, so here’s just a little teaser!
Click here to watch the video in YouTube. If you can’t use YouTube, here’s a direct link to download it.
Why does everybody want to know his name so badly? You’ll find out soon enough! Looks like he might be popping out any day now and we couldn’t be more excited. If he’s lucky, he’ll have a Hanukkah birthday (whenever that goofy lunar calendar lines up right I guess.
Anyway, as soon as he’s born you can expect a flood of photos and videos to be pouring forth. If you’d like to see ‘em, just keep an eye on this blog. We’ll always make sure to post links here.
Since I have been pregnant, everytime I try and eat a banana I get about half way done and feel like throwing up. I am starting to get a real aversion to them. I used to really like them but now…I think I would rather eat an orange.
Bonzo is getting bigger he is about 1 1/2 lbs and a little over 11″ long. I went and saw a new doctor yesterday. Now that we are all moved in, I needed to find someone closer to our new house. I like him a lot and am very excited about moving back to Skokie. Everyone is so friendly and nice at the office.
Hope everyone is doing well…Jessie
Well, since we have a new addition coming to the family at the end of the year, I figure it’s time to resurrect the beast. Dembo.org is officially relaunched! Lots of work to do still, including tweaking the theme, getting the photo albums and moblogs working again, and obviously we gotta get back into the habit of doing the personal blogging, but this is how it all begins again.
More to come!
