Month by Month it Gets Warmer

Early Baby Days!

Hip Issues

The first few months of my life I was diagnosed with mild hip dysplasia. I had to wear a brace for a couple of months. I handled the situation with grace and my hip got all better in no time.

Twinsies

Look at how much my brother and I look alike when we were babies!

Sleeping with Tata Dania

Tata Dania visited New York soon after I was born. Here we are snoozing together. My Mommy says I remind her of Tata Dania!

My First Few Months

Since I was born in late November, the winter came early in my life. Mommy and I stayed home hibernating pretty much all winter. I would go out from time to time, but for the most part, my first few months were indoors!

My First Bath

My first bath was in a salad bowl inside our sink!

Early Days at Home

Leaving the Hospital

Here is a picture of me leaving the hospital on day 3 of my little life. Compare that to the picture below which is the day my brother left the hospital, notice how much bigger he was!

Meeting My Big Brother

The day after I was born, my big brother came along with the rest of the family to meet me.  Poor little fella, seems like he was a bit emotional that day. I hope he feels better about me by now!

At the Hospital

Getting to know Me

• I was born by C-section at Montefiore Einstein Hospital in the Bronx on November 20th, 2015 at 10:01 PM.
• I was welcomed into the world by my Mommy and Daddy, who were at the hospital when I was born. My big brother stayed with Nana while I was being born, and came to meet me for the first time the following day. My family was so excited that there is now a little girl in the family.
• I was born about 3 weeks early so I was a tiny little thing at 4lbs, 14 oz and 16 and 1/4" tall.
• I was born with grey/blue eyes like my big brother.
• My parents named me Valentina Jolie. Valentina because they had their first date and were married on Valentine's Day, and Jolie because it was a little nickname my Daddy would use for Mommy and also because it's french like my Mommy.

Already trying to hold up my binky. This was the first day!

Here you can see how tiny I am compared to M'Daddy.

Here you can see how tiny I was compared to my Mommy's hand.

Hi!

Welcome to Valentina's world! My Daddy set this up as a place where I and those that love me can keep track of my little adventures. I hope you like it here!
