Day 126

I woke up this morning to the sound of this song drifting in from the living room. As I slowly became more alert and the final verse played, I called out to Jaclyn, "I cannot relate to this song on ANY level."

Day 125

Given the okay by his pediatrician, today marked Miles's first encounter with solid(ish) food. Mixed with some good, home-grown boobie juice, we attempted to feed Miles some of that baby oatmeal I was wondering about the other day. The results were...well...see for yourself.

Day 124

Day 123

Ruling the galaxy as father and son.

Day 122

With Miles's advancement in size, we've had to bid farewell to his bassinet in favor of a larger space in which to sleep. Something more...cage-like (hey, he'll be crawling any day now!).

Also, at some point a human catches on … Continue reading Day 119: A Sort-of Review of Hereditary →

Day 118

Today was the first weekend day in what feels like forever that was almost completely free of social obligations and engagements.

Of course, we were both really, … Continue reading Day 118 →

Day 117

It's no secret that Jaclyn misses Miles a lot during the day, so when she has an after-work function to attend, she gets even more restless. Fortunately, I'm around to take care of her motherly needs as best I can.
