5 months already
Miles' 5 month birthday has come and gone. We are all doing great. He started at a new daycare on Monday and it seems to working out. Here is a quick video.

Miles has been going to daycare every Thursday since the middle of July. I thought this was going well. He often smiled at the caregivers when I dropped him off and only once was he crying when I went to pick up. Today, however, when I dropped him off the woman who runs the infant room told me that Miles is not interested in playing there or looking at things, he just wants to be held or he cries. Another woman that occasionally assists in the infant room then piped in that Miles gets really upset if left alone. The woman that runs the infant room then asked me if I always picked up Miles when he cried, and proceeded to tell me that I was holding him too much and that I needed to let him learn to sooth himself since he cannot always be held at daycare.
I am ashamed that Drew and I did such a lousy job of taking pictures of the family when we were in Maryland. Luckily our sister-in-law Katie did a better job. The problem is that when you are the picture taker, you are not in any of the pictures. So I guess we will have to get everyone together again soon so we can get some pictures of Miles with his Aunt Katie.
Since getting back from Maryland, Miles' sleeping habits have completely deteriorated. With the exception of last night, he has been waking up every 2-3 hours. On top of that, I came down with mastitis, and spent two days feeling like a had the flu and then another day suffering from the first antibitoics I was prescribed, which made me throw up. I am now on an anitbiotic that I can tolerate and am feeling much better. So hopefully things are turning around. Miles did sleep better last night, which I attribute to swaddling him again. Miles has also started to take to eating organic brown rice cereal. I gave up on avacado, and we are going to try butternut squash on Wednesday. Here is a short video of Miles trying to figure out eating.
