In which Miles has a tumultuous night, and mom and dad reach their wits' end. Another week of fitful sleep for Miles culminated in a night that was unpleasant for all involved parties. Given the trend this week, I think Jaclyn and I were both braced for sleep interrupted. But here's the trick -- if … Continue reading Year 2, Day 58

Day 232
The past couple of days have seen Miles develop his first real cold. Characterized by perpetual runny nose and increased fussiness (symptoms that, come to think of it, don't differ all too much from his father's), the cold was in full swing yesterday and today. Fortunately, he's still been sleeping relatively well. Unfortunately (for Miles, … Continue reading Day 232
Day 169
Last night, we left Denver on a late (VERY late) flight back to Charlotte. Miles's first plane trip had gone exceptionally well, barring a particularly hearty bowel release, but how would he fare on a red eye flight? For that matter, how would ANY of us fare? The answer: just fine. Miles slept almost the … Continue reading Day 169
Day 166
Maybe it's the jet lag. Maybe it's the time difference. Or maybe it's the fact that, even considering these things, we've kept Miles out a bit late the last two nights. Whatever the root cause, Miles has slept for absolute crap since we got to Denver. Both nights, around 11:00, Miles begins howling, and very … Continue reading Day 166
Day 150
We had a "date night" tonight (it was another concert, so we didn't really spend a lot of time focused on each other), forcing us to once again leave Miles with a babysitter. Now, we have a couple great sitters/nannies who are providing this much-needed service, but lately Miles has been extremely cranky at bedtime … Continue reading Day 150
Day 137: The Teething Diaries II
More often than not, Miles's bedtime is accompanied by various degrees of a stink. Not the diaper blowout kind, but the "WHY ARE YOU ABANDONING ME TO THE DARKNESS!" kind. Sometimes he gets fussy to protest simply going to bed; other times, he's just in need of a little more food. And then there are … Continue reading Day 137: The Teething Diaries II
Day 132
We're three weeks into daycare now, and Miles is still cool as a cucumber when I drop him off every morning, never once getting fussy as I walk away. In fact, when I come to pick him up, he's still completely relaxed (and he does still usually give me a big smile when he sees … Continue reading Day 132
Day 61
I've mentioned in a couple posts lately that Miles has started getting cranky at sporadic times throughout the evening and night. 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
