Day 75

I haven't seen a whole lot of Miles this week. Between work, trivia, and his 6:30-7:00 bedtime, there haven't been many instances of conscious interaction between us. In fact, what few encounters we've had have increasingly been accompanied by expressions on Miles's face that seemed to say, "...who the f@%# is this guy?" Things changed, … Continue reading Day 75 →

Day 74

As mentioned previously, Jaclyn's dad got to spend a bit of time with Miles this past weekend. Their time together inspired John to dive headfirst into the movie making business. Here's the result:

Day 73

Miles said his first word today! This morning, Jaclyn greeted him with a "Hi!" when he woke up, and he absolutely said, "Hi!" back to her.

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 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
