A great philosopher once postulated that babies are like kittens. Although Joe is very optimistic that Miles will one day demonstrate cat-like-speed-and-reflexes, at this point, all I can confirm is that he has kitten eyes. For the first days of Miles' life, he never opened his eyes! I occasionally saw one or the other (most often the left), but never both together. Today (Miles is now 5 days old) was two-eyes-day!! Hurray! After days of straining with his eyebrows up, he finally got them both to cooperate at once, and now I have confirmed that he not only has two matching eyes, but also that they focus together -- success! (however fleeting). Hilariously, when he manages to get them both open, he gazes around with the most startled, confused expression. It seems he thought he had this place all figured out, until - shock! - a whole new dimension in sight.

Indeed, a very wise observation about cats and babies -- especially those with the same name. :)
LOVELY! Mom, Dad, Erick, Janet (his fiance), Kevin and me are all thrilled!!
