Miles is definitely learning, at least when it comes to the telltale signs of bedtime. I mentioned previously the growing distinction of Miles's cries, and while it's easy to tell when he's sleepy, it's becoming a little less easy for Miles to tell when he's sleepy. This has yielded the emergence of a new variation … Continue reading Day 78

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

Somebody's not a Bob Seger fan! And things were going so well...
Day 62
Yesterday I talked a little about the growing variety of Miles's cries.

The most consistent of these thus far has proven to … Continue reading Day 62

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 52

Sporadic fussing throughout the evening and night kept Jaclyn returning to his bassinet in a half-conscious stupor as she tried to comfort him. I kept my distance (i.e., "attempted to sleep") throughout it all, only making … Continue reading Day 52
Day 17
Miles added a new sound to his repertoire today -- the cry-sneeze. He has, up to this point, not cried very much. He might fuss a little when he feels hungry, but he quiets down quickly. Today though, his fussing became a bit more pronounced, then swelled to a crescendo as he drew a breath … Continue reading Day 17
