Day 135: A Sort-of Review of Ant-Man and the Wasp
Trips to the movies are rarer for us now than they were four months ago (but still well above the national average!), but when a Marvel movie comes out, it's required viewing, even when that movie is the relatively low-stakes Ant-Man and the Wasp. And it's a great time. Slick, inventive action sequences, visually striking … Continue reading Day 135: A Sort-of Review of Ant-Man and the Wasp
Day 134
I decided, pretty much on a whim, to pay a visit to Miles's daycare during my lunch break today. I didn't necessarily have time to, but I figured what the hell? I arrived to find Miles relaxing in a chair, lost deep in thought or, perhaps, studying the room and children around him, looking for … Continue reading Day 134
Day 133
Great news! Miles is growing less fixated on gnawing on his hands with each passing day! The bad news: he's discovered his feet. God help me, kid... And yes, he's managed to get a foot into his mouth more regularly, and literally, than I would've expected. We did make a second attempt at baby oatmeal … Continue reading Day 133
Day 132
We're three weeks into daycare now, and Miles is still cool as a cucumber when I drop him off every morning, never once getting fussy as I walk away. In fact, when I come to pick him up, he's still completely relaxed (and he does still usually give me a big smile when he sees … Continue reading Day 132

TFW your workday is so hard you can't even make it from the car to the apartment without falling asleep.
Day 129: Baby’s First Fourth
The Fourth of July brings with it certain expectations. Hot dogs. Beer. Flags. Incendiary devices. And pools. Miles may be a bit young to partake (or recognize the significance) of most of these things, but I did decide to introduce him to one of them today. I'm talking, of course, about the hot dogs. Unfortunately, … Continue reading Day 129: Baby’s First Fourth
Day 128
As Miles's dexterity improves, he's finding more and more uses for his fingers (while he suffers from what I can only refer to as "thumb delay"...still working on mastering, or even acknowledging, the opposable digits). One of his recently discovered joys is fiddling with the bag containing his wipes during diaper changes. While he throws … Continue reading Day 128
Day 127: Poop Update 4!
10) The Blockbuster This one is different from most of the poos encountered so far, because it's the only one whose arrival can occasionally be predicted. Heralded by a preceding day with no poops of great substance, the Blockbuster is a magnificent spectacle, resulting in a dense layer of poop that encompasses every nook and … Continue reading Day 127: Poop Update 4!
