At Least He Enjoys the Sweet Potatoes

Monday, October 20, 2008

I may be criticized for writing about Caleb's "stinkier" side, but that is part of the package. Onward we go.

Snippets of tonight's conversations:

6:00 P.M. Mom (on IM): Hold on...I have to go do an emergency diaper change.

9:30 P.M. Mom: I'm glad you are home. I need you to take the cloth off the bouncy seat frame so I can wash it.

10:00 P.M. Dad: So, do we
have some pictures today or do I have to go wake the baby up?
Mom: No, I took some pictures of Caleb sitting up on his own in the bouncy seat. Those are the last pictures before the accident.

We were aware that Caleb's number 2's would take on some different characteristics now that we are feeding him solid food. However, we haven't seen much difference so far, though we started to see a change this weekend. Fortunately, Caleb is well trained and does most of his number 2's during the day time so I rarely have to deal with them. I guess tonight his system finally decided to clean itself out (as usual...I was still at work...thanks, C). We have had other parents describe "explosions" to us, but hearing about it from someone else cannot really prepare you for it. Caleb had his first real explosion tonight. I don't want to get too graphic (especially since I was not here for it), so I'll just say that Mom refuses to put Caleb back into the bouncy seat until it has been thoroughly washed and we'll just leave it at that.

apparently one of my first "explosions" happened in dad's lap... during church.... :)

No...that was not an explosion...just a harbinger of things to come.
