The Longest Day...

Where did the time go???

It's like a wedding. You know when it started, you know when it ended and you have a few flashes of what happened in between. Well, Miles happened to us. Here's a recap:

  • It was an uneventful Labor & Delivery (as far as Dad is concerned anyway) then Miles is born.
  • Mom is very happy and dad has never been more gay.
  • He comes home, we change diapers.
  • He pees and poops on us, we change diapers faster.
- We get no sleep.

  • He starts to smile, Mom loves it.
  • He starts sleeping and eating on a schedule.
  • He gains a little weight and starts going through clothes.
  • He stops eating and sleeping on a schedule
- We get no sleep.


  • He starts eating and sleeping on a schedule
  • He starts cooing (which means waaay more drooling)
  • Mom goes back to work (sad times)
  • He stops eating on a schedule
  • We get peed on again (mental note, use the right size diapers)
- We finally get sleep!!! Just kidding, still no sleep.


  • He finds his feet and loves eating his hands. (sometimes both at the same time)
  • He learns to grab and play with his toys
  • He mistakes hair for toys (ouch)
  • He gets vaccine shots, he hates Mom and Dad.
  • He get some of the sweet milk, he loves Mom and Dad again (it doesn't take that much).
(All together now...) We get no sleep.



Miles turned 5 months old on Thanksgiving day. Through the first 5 months of his life, he has given us his approval and suggests we keep up the good work.

Ok, most of those things are normal and they all kind of just happened. Not sure what happened first, but whatever -- I'm tired. We're now 20 weeks since our last post. Wow. Here he is today:
