Miles has started throwing around the phrase "One more time!" pretty liberally. When we're playing and I do something funny? "One more time!" When we've just finished running around from playing Naked Baby after bath time? "One more time!" When I give Miles a potato chip? "One more, daddy!"

Year 3, Day 133
Having figured out how to open his closet door, Miles went rummaging around in there yesterday and emerged with a small nylon pouch in his hand. "This, daddy," he said. "Look at this."

Of course, he had to start his day like his father -- by drinking a cuppa joe (or pretending to, … Continue reading Year 2, Day 304

Year 2, Day 34
Miles has discovered how to successfully engage in a game of Peek-a-Boo, and he is absolutely tickled every time he finds someone new to amaze with this ability.
Day 289
While it's true that Miles really cuts loose with the wailing when either Jaclyn or I leave him with his babysitter, never believe for one second that these tears last. The second we're out of earshot, it's back to dancing!
