With Miles's fever finally gone, we wanted to try to get him out of the house a little today. Our visit to Freedom Park left him...unenthused at best. The temperature made us quickly reconsider our plan, and we instead headed indoors, where Miles found far greater contentment playing with his buddy, Jack. At least he's … Continue reading Day 329

Day 308
Miles met a new baby today, and unfortunately his idea of breaking bread involved sticking his finger in the child's eye.
Day 302
This weekend has been a whirlwind precursor to Miles's First Christmas™, filled with friends, family, and presents (and, on one case, notarized documents). Miles's grandmother continued her attempts to curry the young boy's favor. He opened some gifts from Audrey. Miles was inspired by his new book to become a Boss Baby himself, then promptly … Continue reading Day 302
Day 300
Miles spent most of his 300th day of existence in a car headed to Myrtle Beach for Christmas. It wasn't a terribly exciting drive (save for one event which I'll likely cover tomorrow), so instead of going into detail about how he slept most of the time, here's a highlight video of Miles playing with … Continue reading Day 300
Day 298
PREVIOUSLY IN PATERNITY PERILS: The car got stolen, along with all of Miles's most essential day-to-day items. This morning, our friend Carole insisted on stopping by extremely early in the morning (I was forced to declare from the other room that I wasn't wearing pants yet, just to give you an idea of just how early … Continue reading Day 298
Day 271
This morning, we joined our friends George, Sam, Franklin, and Leeanne for breakfast and, mostly, so we could all put Miles and his contemporary, Audrey, on the floor and intently watch them interact with each other like we were watching a Bachelorette finale or something. Audrey cooed, and Miles...well, made some zombie sounds at her. … Continue reading Day 271
Day 266: The First Dipsgiving
Last night, we hosted a "friendsgiving" event called Dipsgiving, the goal of which is to strip away some of the formality (and silverware) of traditional Thanksgiving dishes by turning them all into dips. I wasn't sure exactly how the event would turn out, but I'm fortunate to have a ton of friends who really threw … Continue reading Day 266: The First Dipsgiving
Day 262
A thought occurred to me tonight as I arrived home, passed Miles off to his babysitter, and yet again observed his fairly Pavlovian response to initially seeing her. We're having a shindig at the house this weekend with a bunch of friends. And yet, despite all the people in the house and all the food … Continue reading Day 262
Day 230
Today, we took a trip to south Charlotte to visit Hall Family Farm with friends. It was Miles's first time around pumpkins. Miles wasn't able to partake of many of the activities there, but he did seem to enjoy watching some of the older kids run around. And we were able to stop for a … Continue reading Day 230
Day 223: Moving Day!
Today, we bid farewell to the apartment we've lived in for four years to move into a house that will provide us with a bit more space to accommodate the ever-growing addition to our lives. Miles will finally have his own room in the new place (which means WE'LL finally get ours back!). Moving with … Continue reading Day 223: Moving Day!
