I came home from trivia tonight to find more items Miles has stashed in strange places. Maybe he was trying to remind me to put socks on and...play ball with him?

Year 2, Day 49 – Operation: Babywalk Begins
Miles has been going to physical therapy for a couple months now, and while he has made substantial strides (HA!) in crawling, he is still extremely reluctant to get on his feet. While this does seem to have more to do with his emotional tendencies than his actual physical capabilities, he has appeared to become … Continue reading Year 2, Day 49 – Operation: Babywalk Begins
Year 2, Day 35
It's April Fool's Day, and I have once again positioned myself as the biggest of fools, agreeing to assemble yet another madness-inducing, hellspawned contraption for Miles.

Not in reference to actual Japanese people, whom as near as I can tell my dad had no … Continue reading Year 2, Day 2
Day 348
I woke this morning to the sound of Miles's fussing piping through out baby monitor. It took me a few seconds of groggy semi-consciousness to realize that I hadn't also heard a "Can you go check on him?" coming from Jaclyn. I rolled over to find that she had already gotten in the shower, and … Continue reading Day 348
