Year 2, Day 241

Miles's latest obsession stems from a song he's loved for a long time. While I'm not sure he fully grasps what a "wheel" is yet, he has grown extremely fond of the buses on which they go "'round and 'round."

Year 2, Day 240

Miles loves his mommy. Watch until the end and you'll see one of his other great loves.

Year 2, Day 239

Miles made a rare appearance at my trivia show tonight, and unlike the first time he stopped by, he was much more excited this time around. He ran over and hugged me as soon as he entered Legion, and he was on the mic moments later.

Year 2, Day 238

I was in the living room when I heard Jaclyn call out, "Miles! No!" Darting for the bedroom (technically, I was supposed to be watching him), I feared the worst.

One (okay, technically two) thing Miles has … Continue reading Year 2, Day 234 →

When daddy finally gets home after a long day and discovers that it's very possible he'll be sleeping on the couch tonight.

Year 2, Day 232
