So here's a disturbing thing that happened tonight. We're eating dinner, and naturally Miles got fussy, so Jaclyn took a break and started feeding him at the table. After a moment, she looks up at me. "Are you curious to know what this tastes like or no?" she said, while feeding Miles fluid from her … Continue reading Day 29

Day 28
Miles was a little fussy this morning, and I was feeding him while Jaclyn worked out. I fed him a bit, he'd get fussy again. Feed him, fussy. He finally quieted down for the most part, and I put him down so I could have a cup of coffee. He started whimpering again when Jaclyn … Continue reading Day 28
Day 27
Today was a big day for Miles. And me. Maybe just me. Jaclyn had a hair appointment, and I, armed with our Infantino Baby Carrier, took Miles on an adventure that took us from the Target Pharmacy to Heroes Aren't Hard to Find. And...that was it. Well, there was also a Wendy's trip in there. … Continue reading Day 27
Day 26
So I've been having a lot of bug-related dreams lately. Big bugs, small bugs, hordes of bugs -- you name it. I'm not sure where it's all coming from, but I honestly hadn't given it much thought until today, when Miles was on the floor on his play mat. As I sat on the edge … Continue reading Day 26
Day 25
Leaving for work each day still kind of sucks, but today at least, for the first time, Miles was awake when I left. Just getting to see that kid's eyes was enough to motivate me (and, admittedly, make me late for work). Jaclyn sent a video for the first time, too, giving me a look … Continue reading Day 25
Day 24: The Sounds of the Night-time I
Early this morning, I woke to the sounds of Jaclyn. I glanced at her silhouette at the foot of the bed, back lit by the sliver of light coming through the crack in the bathroom door. I shuffled slightly in my stupor, my foot grazing the changing pad that rested atop our bed. I drifted … Continue reading Day 24: The Sounds of the Night-time I
Day 23: Poop Update!
Yesterday brought with it an exciting development in the poop department. 7) The Raptor Attack An attack on the unassuming, diaper-changing parent, who is likely on-guard against sudden peeing, this poop is the thing you didn't see coming. Pure liquid, projectile poop, it spews forth at a rate too fast to counter. You were doomed … Continue reading Day 23: Poop Update!
Day 22
Here's a question, and I'm being completely serious: what do babies dream about? Like, newborn babies. Within an hour or so of being born, Miles was fast asleep. During that sleep, he began whimpering like he was having a nightmare. So I started wondering. The kid's been alive for all of an hour...what exactly could … Continue reading Day 22
Day 21
As I've implied in countless previous posts, Miles is perfect. All kidding aside, his health has been great thus far. There is, however, one concern we've had for a week or so now. Miles has a pretty bad case of baby acne, which I didn't even realize was a thing. It started out simply, with … Continue reading Day 21
