Day 326: Baby’s First Ear Infection!

Miles's slightly off-brand crying continued this morning, and Jaclyn reached out to daycare early to check in on how he was doing. While the outcome of that initial conversation was, "Let's see if it gets any better," it wasn't long before she got a call back. Miles had a fever and needed to go home … Continue reading Day 326: Baby’s First Ear Infection! →

Day 325

Since I've returned from my weekend journey, Miles has clearly had a cold. Rugged, phlegmy coughs have accompanied an excessively runny nose and near constant drooling as Miles has tried to find some orifice to breathe through. All of this cruddiness finally seemed to take a toll on Miles tonight, as he was officially "Just … Continue reading Day 325 →

Day 320

After experiencing just a little concern that Miles isn't really trying to stand, crawl, or...well, use his legs for much of anything, Jaclyn took Miles to a physical therapist for an evaluation today. The results confirmed my worst fears: this cat is LAY-ZEE. Miles is just a tad delayed in the gross motor skills department … Continue reading Day 320 →

Day 319

Just a young lad lounging as he contemplates a cube.

Day 318

My fellow Americans, I come to you with huge news. We have secured the $5.7 billion -- I mean the $57 needed to fully finance the wall. Now, it's not concrete and it's not steel slats, but it is made out of high-quality plastic. Extending nearly two feet high, it will completely stop the theft … Continue reading Day 318 →

Day 317

TFW you get a holiday postcard from your babysitter while she's traveling in Europe:
