Day 206

What a hambone!

Day 205

Almost every day I pick Miles up from daycare, one of the other children -- a girl, maybe three years old -- says the same thing the second I walk through the door. "That's the baby's daddy." I never actually see her, I just hear her voice over the cacophony of toddlers, so my typical … Continue reading Day 205 →

Day 204

Miles is really discovering a taste for books... Chew all you want, kid! This particular book is actually built to withstand just about anything a toddler can throw at it. Whether chewing, gumming, ripping, or peeing all over it, Miles's Indestructible book takes a licking and keeps on flipping. A waterproof book?! Why isn't everything … Continue reading Day 204 →

Day 203: Poop Update 6!

12) "Code Red" Named for the verbal call that accompanies it, this poo requires a rapid response involving at least four (adult) hands, one load of laundry, and perhaps a team of professional cleaners. Tragedy can strike quickly, without warning. What one moment was a perfectly clean baby, onesie, pillow, and couch is suddenly rendered … Continue reading Day 203: Poop Update 6! →

Day 202

Following up on yesterday's post, something I've been very conscious of, and Jaclyn and I have had conversations about, is limiting the amount of time we spend on our phones in front of Miles. While this wasn't something I was thinking about in February or March, this changed as Miles demonstrated increased awareness of his … Continue reading Day 202 →

Day 201

When I was in the bathroom getting ready for work this morning, an unmistakable "BEEP-BOOP-BEEP" sound drifted in from the bedroom. I didn't think much of it at first; after all, the tones accompanying the pressing of a cell phone keypad are commonplace, even first thing in the morning (knowing Jaclyn). But this...started to seem … Continue reading Day 201 →

Day 200

Baby Miles taking his 200th day of existence and first experience in a high chair very seriously.

Day 199

Because I have a boss who is incredibly understanding (and can tell when I'm not at my best), I went into work late today so I could have a little time this morning to catch up on the sleep that has thus far eluded me this week. Jaclyn had worked a half day on Tuesday … Continue reading Day 199 →

OH HOW NICE FOR YOU. #nosleepformomanddad #threehournap #cheerful

Day 197: The Teething Diaries IV

Well, it finally happened, folks. We've had our first undeniably rough night as parents. This didn't come as a surprise though. Sunday was, by a considerable margin, the hardest day we've experienced so far. Miles oscillated between fussing and wailing all day, with very few moments of calmness or cheer. It seemed that even the … Continue reading Day 197: The Teething Diaries IV →
