Well, we finally got Dean home today (actually it was yesterday... it's about 1:00am now...)! Jess and Dean are sound asleep right now, but so far our first night at home as a family has been great. At around 9:00 tonight Dean decided to wake up and check out his new surroundings (At least we think they're new to him. Jess brought up a good point tonight. She wondered if Dean would remember the sounds of our house from when he was in her tummy. You know, regularly occuring familiar sounds like running a bath or watching an episode of 24. I still wonder if he will find comfort in the commercial break sound effects on 24 when the clock ticks down. We watched 5 seasons of 24 on DVD while he was in the womb so he has to remember that sound.)

He was really alert tonight and just stared at us forever. He ate forever too. He just kept chugging his milk. We didn't think he was going to stop. If he keeps up at this rate, we're gonna have a little fatty on our hands.

Up until tonight, he has pretty much just slept and been groggy most of the time, but tonight it was like a light switch flipped on in his little head. It was cool to have some eye to eye interaction with him. It's like he's a different person when he opens his eyes. He a whole lot cuter with them open too. Here are a couple of little video clips from earlier this evening...
