Day 267

Yesterday, Miles took almost six hours of naps (about three times the usual) throughout the day. Our hope was that he would be able to sleep off the cold that has been plaguing him for the past several days, although we knew full-well that partaking of this much sleep during the daytime would likely lead … Continue reading Day 267 →

Day 253: Baby’s First Daylight Saving Time!

Whether beginning or ending, daylight saving time can always wreak havoc on your sleeping patterns, but I've never ever considered that there might come a day when gaining an hour of sleep would prove so utterly fruitless. Obviously, babies have no concept of the singular opportunity that the end of daylight saving time provides -- … Continue reading Day 253: Baby’s First Daylight Saving Time! →

Day 242: Sounds of the Night-time V: Now with Actual Sound!

Miles woke up a bit fussy last night, so I got up and held him a little before setting him back down in his Pack 'n' Play with some toys. At this point, his crying turned into...well, give it a listen.

Day 212

A couple weeks ago, I wrote about the worst night we've experienced as parents so far. After last night, though, I can unequivocally say that we have a new reigning champ. I was finishing my nightly routine of washing my face and lazily brushing my teeth right around 11:00 when Miles started crying. SOP is … Continue reading Day 212 →

Day 199

Because I have a boss who is incredibly understanding (and can tell when I'm not at my best), I went into work late today so I could have a little time this morning to catch up on the sleep that has thus far eluded me this week. Jaclyn had worked a half day on Tuesday … Continue reading Day 199 →

OH HOW NICE FOR YOU. #nosleepformomanddad #threehournap #cheerful

Day 197: The Teething Diaries IV

Well, it finally happened, folks. We've had our first undeniably rough night as parents. This didn't come as a surprise though. Sunday was, by a considerable margin, the hardest day we've experienced so far. Miles oscillated between fussing and wailing all day, with very few moments of calmness or cheer. It seemed that even the … Continue reading Day 197: The Teething Diaries IV →

Day 191: Sounds of the Night-time III

The following is Jaclyn's account of an incident that occurred in the middle of the night. I can neither confirm or deny the validity of this account, because I was not actually awake for the incident in question. Sometime around 3:00 AM, Miles started fussing from his Pack 'n' Play. After giving him a moment … Continue reading Day 191: Sounds of the Night-time III →

Day 184

Rough day at the office.

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 →
