Miles reached another milestone this week (or "Miles-stone," as his Uncle Scott calls it). In recent weeks, he was clearly growing increasingly discontent with being held over the shoulder or, especially, sitting in his carrier. When placed in the latter, chest to chest with either me or Jaclyn, Miles has tended to turn his head … Continue reading Day 116

Day 115
We found a new game to play with Miles! And it's...well, it's weird. But it DID lead to the first footage of him laughing!
Day 114
Today was my first day taking Miles to and picking him up from daycare all by myself, and I'm happy to report that: Days without forgetting Miles at daycare: 1 So there. MOM.
Day 113
Today marked the next big (and hopefully LAST big, for the time being) transition phase of Miles's young life -- starting daycare. So far, it's seemed like just as we get into a groove with whatever our current situation is, that situation changes in some way (me going back to work, Jaclyn going back to … Continue reading Day 113
Day 112: Daddy’s First Father’s Day
Today was day three of HeroesCon, the event that annually swallows a weekend of my life (and untold amounts of my income) whole despite almost every person I know relentlessly scheduling other critical social events the same weekend. I can't help that it falls on Father's Day weekend. I'm also not that into self-aggrandizing holidays, … Continue reading Day 112: Daddy’s First Father’s Day

So far, Miles's exposure to other babies has been pretty minimal. With daycare right around the corner, Miles's world is about to be rocked. What better time, then, to introduce him to our friends George and Sam's also-barely-out-of-the-newborn-stage daughter Audrey? Not present for this historic meeting? THE DADS. What can we say -- HeroesCon … Continue reading Day 111
Day 110
I don't know what this generation is going to be called, but Miles has already adopted the millennial tendency toward selfies.
Day 109
Miles gave me an early Father's Day present today, and it's something I've wanted for a long time... Taco holders. My son...already trying to make my life easier.
Day 108
"Taking double-fisting to a whole new level!" - Jaclyn, who...well, she has a way with words.
Day 107
My mornings are plagued with "baby interference." Not that Miles is creating a lot of problems in the morning (although he is a little fussy when he initially gets up between 5:30 and 6), but just the fact that he's awake slows me down every morning. I mean, really, how am I supposed to get … Continue reading Day 107
The Perils (& Pride) of Paternity
