An Interesting Milestone

I may or may not talk about poop too much.  After having a baby, it comes with the territory.  You're always concerned whether it's the right color, consistency, whether it's been in the diaper too long, all sorts of things they just don't tell you before having a baby.

Something they did mention, however, is that breastfed babies tend to have less foul smelling poop.  We found out recently that this is monstrously true.

The daycare has been feeding Tommy oatmeal cereal once a day to get him used to solid foods.  He hasn't been doing all that well with it yet.  He cries a lot.  Bottles are much more comforting than a spoon with goopy bland oatmeal soup-looking crap on it.  But they said he's slowly improving and definitely doing what's normal.

Most baby cereals are fortified with iron.  This has been a little rough on Tommy's system.  He had a huge blow out on Monday and then he hasn't pooped since...

Until tonight.

He finally pooped 3 days later and OHHHH EEEMMMMM GEEEEEE it was disgusting.  Of course it was also a blowout.  I sniffed it and recoiled, thoroughly disgusted.  Then as is absolutely necessary, I handed it to Andrew and said, "SMELL THIS!!"

Not knowing what to expect, he dove head first into the diaper to take a huge whiff.  He choked and did the Jim Carey gag...

...for 5 straight minutes (Morganism).  I'm pretty sure his eyes even watered.  He said, "WHY did I DO THAT????"

Still trying to figure that out, hon.

Oh Tommy Thomersons.  That.  Was.  Gross.

How can something this cute make that stench??

It was all over the place so we immediately put him in the bath.  He loved every minute.

All clean!


After the bath, it was time for bed.  Pooping all over yourself is exhausting.  I *just* snapped this picture and I just had to add it to the story.  This is probably my new favorite picture.

WHOA, BEARS!! 

He really can't get enough of those bears! Love it! 

Happy Nasty Poop Milestone, Thomas! :)
