Julius,

Every day and every night, we rock you to sleep in the rocking chair. So far you don’t seem to like sleeping in the bassinet since you’ll cry after being placed in there. We’re not too keen on letting you sleep in the bed with us since there is an increased chance of us accidentally rolling over you or suffocating you at night… so we rock you… and we rock you… and we rock you… when we rock you to sleep, you love it! You will actually SLEEP! Sometimes we try to be clever by placing you in the bassinet AFTER you have fallen asleep, but you’re too smart. Shucks.

You’re three weeks old and we still haven’t figured out how to transition you to the bassinet quite yet. The good news is that you’re beginning to tell the difference to day and night. We keep the lights low and don’t play with you at night, and we turn on the lights and play with you in the day time. It’s been difficult setting a pattern routine to get you to sleep because unfortunately there are nights you get horrible gas from swallowing too much air which results in having to calm you down for a few hours. The Mylicon isn’t too great, so we recently picked up some Gripe Water which is all natural with herbs to help relieve gas. We’ll try it out and see if it helps! I love it when you’re happy… a fussy, gassy baby doesn’t feel good for either of us. We love you, sweetie. Hope your tummy feels better soon.

Hey Julius,

Some of our friends and family who come to this website (or want to) have asked over and over how to spell the name “earth zizu” correctly. Often times it’s typed incorrectly and then family can’t find you which is bad for everyone. So today I took the liberty of using $40 of your baby money to buy you JuliusDior.com and JuliusDiorWilliams.com and pre-paid them for two years and they both forward here. I registered both of them in your name so that no one can ever claim them and I’ll be glad to fork the bill for the domains until you turn 18. Whatever you do after that is up to you.

So this site can officially be reached at JuliusDior.com! It’s easy to remember, yes?

A new page has been added to the site, “Our Baby Story,”  which describes how you were to conceived to how you were born.  Everything you could ever want to know about your delivery is on there, if you’re interested!

Here’s some photos of you sitting in front of a gorgeous Persian cloth that I bought from the Emporium downtown:

More photos of you in front of the Persian cloth in the baby gallery!

Julius,
Our good friends Kasha and David spent a long long time at a festival to earn you that big beautiful bear in this photo. It’s such a cool bear too!!! And Kasha found this cool tie-dyed onesie on e-bay and I really thought you’d like it…

I took this photo of you and couldn’t help but crack myself up. One of these days you’ll look back at this photo and laugh!!! And I’m confident you’ll love the bear as you grow older cause it’s soooo cushy!!!

Check out your temper tantrum in the photo gallery!
Love
Mom

Hello baby Julius,
Like father, like son! You two are so beautiful together!! I took a bunch of photos of you guys bonding as well as this video posted below.

Here’s a video of you and daddy spending time together! Hope you like it! Mommy filmed you and Daddy over a course of a day to show how involved he is in your life. He spends 50% of his time walking you in the kitchen hehe.

Your daddy says to tell you he loves you very very much. Right now he’s in the kitchen singing the ABC song to you.

Love
Mom
