Miles is finally starting to get a solid handle on rolling over, an event we commemorated with a new onesie: Miles's burgeoning penchant for rolling has also allowed him to explore new ways to sleep. For instance, he has recently enjoyed thrashing about all night until he's moved from the center of the Pack 'n' … Continue reading Day 145

Day 125
Given the okay by his pediatrician, today marked Miles's first encounter with solid(ish) food. Mixed with some good, home-grown boobie juice, we attempted to feed Miles some of that baby oatmeal I was wondering about the other day. The results were...well...see for yourself.
Day 122
With Miles's advancement in size, we've had to bid farewell to his bassinet in favor of a larger space in which to sleep. Something more...cage-like (hey, he'll be crawling any day now!). We've given the Pack 'n' Play a couple tries already, and Miles has slept in it with no problem. He's also clearly already … Continue reading Day 122

When placed in the latter, chest to chest with either me or Jaclyn, Miles has tended to turn his head … Continue reading Day 116
Day 113
Today marked the next big (and hopefully LAST big, for the time being) transition phase of Miles's young life -- starting daycare. So far, it's seemed like just as we get into a groove with whatever our current situation is, that situation changes in some way (me going back to work, Jaclyn going back to … Continue reading Day 113
Day 105
Another big milestone today, as Miles rolled over mostly unassisted* for the first time (as far as I've seen, anyway)! Not only did he roll over like a boss, he immediately lifted his head to look around. At this point, I fear he's days from becoming a safety hazard on his diaper changing pad. No … Continue reading Day 105
