Well, Miles has definitely started teething. What started as an innocent love affair between a boy and his hand/forearm has turned into something far more aggressive. And as someone who has found my finger quickly seized and crammed into his mouth (repeatedly), I can confirm that Miles has developed some serious jaw power. Maybe it … Continue reading Day 106: The Teething Diaries I

Day 105
Another big milestone today, as Miles rolled over mostly unassisted* for the first time (as far as I've seen, anyway)! Not only did he roll over like a boss, he immediately lifted his head to look around. At this point, I fear he's days from becoming a safety hazard on his diaper changing pad. No … Continue reading Day 105

Day 103: Poop Update 3!
9) The Creeping Terror More than a mere blow-out, the Terror clings and ascends, defying natural laws and flying in the face* of accepted science. The child is sitting upright, and yet the viscous waste has somehow scaled his body, crawling upwards to coat much of his back and, horrifyingly, even his belly. You realize … Continue reading Day 103: Poop Update 3!
Day 102
Jaclyn shot this video during Miles's playtime today. Clearly he's an aspiring D.J. (Already disappointing his father! You were supposed to go to CLOWN SCHOOL, Miles!)
Day 101
An introduction to one of the classics. To the bat-poles!

As hard as it is for me to even wrap my brain around, 100 days have already passed since Miles was born. People say it all the time, but it really is amazing just how parenthood consumes you. "It takes over your life," is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot by parents, and … Continue reading The First Hundred Days
Day 99
It's been 19 days since we last checked in on Miles's emerging practical implementation of his digits, and things are proceeding nicely! Not only can he get his fingers around his bottle, he does so the second it nears his mouth and pulls the bottle in (forcibly, if I'm being honest), and he can actually … Continue reading Day 99
Day 98
A few days ago, I mentioned that it's been some time since Miles has had to partake of formula. Keeping him exclusively on breast milk wasn't something we deliberately set out to do; it had just sort of gradually worked itself out that way. So we still have formula mix, even if it's generally unused. … Continue reading Day 98
Day 97
Miles held his first video conference with his grandparents today and he had plenty to say (and insisted on using the smoovest filter possible)!
