Year 3, Day 107

First thing this morning, Miles had a doctor's appointment to remove the stitches he received after his fall over the weekend. He was thrilled to hear about this when he woke up. "I no wanna go see a doctor!" he complained. While Jaclyn was with him in the hospital on Friday night, it fell upon … Continue reading Year 3, Day 107 →

Year 3, Day 13

Miles coughed throughout the night and while he was in pretty good spirits this morning, we figured we'd play it safe and get him in to see his pediatrician today. I got Miles up and brought him to bed with us as Jaclyn dialed the doctor's office. "Mommy's calling the doctor," I said to Miles. … Continue reading Year 3, Day 13 →

Year 2, Day 182

Miles has met a lot of people in the year and a half he's been alive, but I always wonder how capable he is of remembering the people he doesn't see as frequently as, say, his daycare teachers or babysitter. Does he remember his grandparents? His aunts and uncles? Well Miles had his 18-month check-up … Continue reading Year 2, Day 182 →

Year 2, Day 100

It's been 100 days since Miles turned 1, and by complete happenstance today was also the day of his 15 month visit with the pediatrician. We are very clearly beyond Miles being blissfully ignorant of not only exactly what to expect from a trip to the doctor, but also the roles that each individual person … Continue reading Year 2, Day 100 →

Year 2, Day 36

In another life (and a now defunct travel blog), Jaclyn and I lived in Europe for a couple years. We've been back to visit a couple times since, but that's obviously been harder to entertain since Miles was born. Thankfully, our friends are still able to drop in on us from time to time. Today, … Continue reading Year 2, Day 36 →

Day 285

Miles had his nine-month (!) checkup today, and things are still looking great. Contrary to what his mother and I assumed, Miles does not weigh 30 lbs. He has gained almost five pounds since his last check-in, currently clocking in at 18 lbs, 11 oz. Developmentally, he's hitting all the right milestones (although at this … Continue reading Day 285 →

Day 64

I got to leave work and spend a couple of hours with Miles today, which sounds great for me. The bad news is that it was so I could accompany Miles to the doctor to get prodded with approximately 500 needles. So it wasn't really a great time for either of us. Okay, okay, I … Continue reading Day 64 →
