One of the questions that Jaclyn has asked most often during Miles's visits to the pediatrician is, "When can I start putting the baby to bed at 7:00?" We've been able (and lucky) to get Miles to sleep through the night since the second or third week, but I know Jaclyn's exhausted by the time … Continue reading Day 67

Day 66
I still haven't gotten to hear Miles's laughter yet, but in the five to ten minutes I got to see him today, I did get to reach a fun little milestone with him. He was pretty cheery when I got home from work, and I went over to say hello. He grinned and kicked his … Continue reading Day 66
Day 65
With his initial immunizations out of the way, Miles was finally ready to visit Legion Brewing for my Tuesday night trivia show. He was a celebrated guest and he loved every minute of it. I'll let you decide which of those two things are true.
Day 64
I got to leave work and spend a couple of hours with Miles today, which sounds great for me. The bad news is that it was so I could accompany Miles to the doctor to get prodded with approximately 500 needles. So it wasn't really a great time for either of us. Okay, okay, I … Continue reading Day 64
Day 63
"I just think he likes boobies too much. He doesn't like lying on my bony form. It's like sleeping on a futon." - Me, explaining Miles's distaste for lying over my shoulder
Day 62
Yesterday I talked a little about the growing variety of Miles's cries. While full-on crying only really happens in one of those three circumstances (for now...), we have noticed that certain situations compel him to voice at least minor distaste in the form of fussing. The most consistent of these thus far has proven to … Continue reading Day 62
Day 61
I've mentioned in a couple posts lately that Miles has started getting cranky at sporadic times throughout the evening and night. While both Jaclyn and I have started to discern the subtle differences between the "I'm hungry" cry and the "I'm stinky" cry, tonight we were treated to the pure distillation of his evening crankiness … Continue reading Day 61
Day 60 — Avengers: Infinity War
Tonight, Miles had his first babysitter experience so Jaclyn and I could attend an opening night showing of the new Avengers movie. The first difference I noticed in post-baby movie-going was that I actually asked Jaclyn if she was keeping her cell phone on during the movie. The next was a realization I wasn't really … Continue reading Day 60 — Avengers: Infinity War
Day 59: Poop Update 2!
A new poop approaches! 8) Swamp Thing Yielding a bright spinach-colored base and a murky, liquid consistency, this poop is forever tied to The Green. The pungent aroma that accompanies this poo is reminiscent of that smell that makes you think you must've stepped in something, but nothing appears to be on the bottom of … Continue reading Day 59: Poop Update 2!

Lordy, lordy! Look who's...two months old!
