As regular readers know, we've been trying out a variety of foods with Miles over the past week or so. He's taken to some of these nicely, while others have required a little warming up to. Miles is definitely a fan of sweet potatoes, while avocado will likely require some "jazzing up" before he'll revisit … Continue reading Day 186: Daddy’s First “Not My Son” Moment!

Day 185
It seems like Miles's muscle control and dexterity are improving exponentially with each passing day. He's able to grab objects, move his body to snag items that are beyond his reach, and pass items from hand to hand. Over the last week, Miles has really gotten into smacking things. His leg, his belly, my face...he … Continue reading Day 185

Day 180
Knock on wood, but it looks like Miles's "wailing in his sleep" phase has come to an end. He's slept amazingly well this week (and subsequently, Tuesday night notwithstanding, so have mom and dad!), and he's woken up each morning looking refreshed and ready for the day.
Day 179
After sucessfully(ish) introducing Miles to sweet potatoes this week, we decided to try avocado. Results were...well, they weren't great.
Day 178
Baby Miles, moments after arriving home from daycare. This cat can't even stay awake for a diaper change!
Day 177: OTR II
Tonight we drove down to Columbia to see something that, like Miles, is a spectacularly awesome thing made by a married couple -- Jay-Z and Beyoncé's OTR II. Miles was excited when I picked him up from daycare early and really enjoyed the car ride. Of course, once he realized we were leaving him with … Continue reading Day 177: OTR II
