Year 5, Day 312

There was a time not so long ago when Miles, fresh and dapper as he was, was eager to have his photograph taken after a successful haircut. I mean heck, here he is not two months ago on the occasion of his last haircut. Time moves quickly though, and when I asked to get a … Continue reading Year 5, Day 312 →

Year 5, Day 140

Driving back home after dinner tonight, Miles discovered a long hair in his car seat (presumably...hopefully?...Jaclyn's), which he held up proudly. "Look at this!" he called from the backseat. "Look at this hair!!!" As is so often the case when I'm trying to operate a vehicle, I replied, "Miles, I need to focus on driving. … Continue reading Year 5, Day 140 →

Year 4, Day 284

Miles burst into the bathroom this morning as I was getting ready and, seeing that I was styling my hair, insisted that he wanted some of my forming cream. While I'd normally be fine with it, this was clearly one of those rare mornings where he had actually allowed Jaclyn to use his spray gel; … Continue reading Year 4, Day 284 →

Year 4, Day 197

There was a time, not so long ago, when I had a comb. I hadn't seen it in days...until Miles busted into the bathroom and started "pew-pew"ing me with it, like it was a magic wand or something. Yeah, not sure I'm getting that thing back at this point.

Year 4, Day 86

Miles shows off his new haircut in the absolute DERPIEST way possible.

Year 3, Day 89

North Carolina cautiously (perhaps less so, in some areas) entered "Phase 2" of reopening this weekend, and while we're perfectly fine continuing to avoid gathering places at the moment, there was one thing Jaclyn insisted on doing for Miles as soon as possible.

Year 2, Day 334

We took Miles to get a haircut this afternoon, a trip that granted Miles his first taste of suckers and a thirst for exploration.

Day 314: Baby’s First Haircut!

It's hard to believe, considering there was a time not so long ago when all of his hair was falling out, but Miles has finally gotten to a point where he's a little shaggy and perpetually disheveled. Understanding her own limitations as a hairdresser and valuing a quality haircut over most everything else, Jaclyn declared … Continue reading Day 314: Baby’s First Haircut! →

Day 143

One of Miles's more adorable developments of late has been his discovery of faces. No longer content to just gaze at someone's face, Miles will now reach out and grab the head of anyone who gets close enough -- nose, ears, hair...you name it. And when he seizes that ear or that cheek he starts … Continue reading Day 143 →

Day 87

Tragedy strikes again. I looked into Miles's bassinet this morning to find, much to my dismay, that maintaining hair continues to be an issue for him. For a closer look: On the one hand, I'm sad to see that he's already going bald. On the other, THIS IS THE WHOLE REASON I DON'T HAVE PETS. … Continue reading Day 87 →
