Day 217: The Teething Diaries VI

Miles's single, razor-sharp tooth has finally broken through and started to emerge from his gums. Squint really hard, and you can see it right above Jaclyn's finger in the picture below.

Day 210: The Teething Diaries V

We have teeth! Or tooth, anyway. Miles has a habit, as outlined previously, of gnawing on...well...pretty much anything he can fit between his jaws. This has included fingers, both his and mine. I've generally allowed this, laughing as he slowly realized that my fingers were unsavory and eventually rejected them. However, I'm rethinking this behavior … Continue reading Day 210: The Teething Diaries V →

Day 197: The Teething Diaries IV

Well, it finally happened, folks. We've had our first undeniably rough night as parents. This didn't come as a surprise though. Sunday was, by a considerable margin, the hardest day we've experienced so far. Miles oscillated between fussing and wailing all day, with very few moments of calmness or cheer. It seemed that even the … Continue reading Day 197: The Teething Diaries IV →

When I pick Miles up from daycare, I don't expect too much of a … Continue reading Day 194: The Teething Diaries III →

Day 137: The Teething Diaries II

More often than not, Miles's bedtime is accompanied by various degrees of a stink. Not the diaper blowout kind, but the "WHY ARE YOU ABANDONING ME TO THE DARKNESS!" kind. Sometimes he gets fussy to protest simply going to bed; other times, he's just in need of a little more food. And then there are … Continue reading Day 137: The Teething Diaries II →

Day 106: The Teething Diaries I

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 →
