It had to happen eventually, and I'm sad to report that the novelty of brushing teeth has worn off for Miles. Not only does he tightly close his mouth and turn his head as we attempt to do it, he's quick to dispose of his toothbrush when prompted to do it on his own (usually … Continue reading Year 2, Day 101

Year 2, Day 100
It's been 100 days since Miles turned 1, and by complete happenstance today was also the day of his 15 month visit with the pediatrician.

Year 2, Day 92
There are some mornings where Jaclyn and I wake up to the sound of Miles crying through the baby monitor.
