Year 4, Day 309

To celebrate the new year, Miles and I decided to try out our new waffle maker for the first time. Miles is obsessed with the possibilities this new device presents, and he insisted on helping prep the meal. FACT: He started stirring about 10 seconds before this photo was taken, then stopped about 5 seconds … Continue reading Year 4, Day 309 →

Year 4, Day 308: Baby’s First New Year’s Resolutions!

In true party pooper fashion, both of my housemates fell asleep well in advance of midnight tonight. Still, Miles was fighting to make it to midnight but was just too dang loopy for us to keep dealing with. Although we had no choice but to put him to bed, I still tried to keep Miles's … Continue reading Year 4, Day 308: Baby’s First New Year’s Resolutions! →

Jaclyn (to me): "I brought an apple with me in the car and guess who ate it?" Miles (immediately): "It's Miles and I ate it ALL."

He … Continue reading Year 4, Day 260 →

Year 4, Day 258

He's always grasping at straws with his wacky last-minute requests, and tonight he suddenly decided he wanted to eat. "Can you get me cheese??" he pleaded. "No!" we answered, knowing he … Continue reading Year 4, Day 258 →

Year 4, Day 256

Remember Sick Bear, that delightful doll given to Miles by his Yia-yia and used whenever any of us is feeling under the weather? Well Miles let me know today that Sick Bear is "turkey" and that he subsequently put him in an "oven" and "ate him," which sounds to me like how a young Hannibal … Continue reading Year 4, Day 256 →

Year 4, Day 254

Breakfast of champions. He truly is my son.

Year 4, Day 225

Miles and I sat down this afternoon to build a Halloween cookie diorama (this year a haunted farm). Naturally, Miles started voraciously consuming the building supplies before we could begin. https://videopress.com/v/jCEfmoRN?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata
