Good Sunday Morning!

The Horrific Has Happened

Today I googled, "what happens when your baby eats poop?"

Because...

Well, I think he did.

(At least it was his own poop?)

This morning, as soon as I pulled down Finn's diaper to change him, he peed. All over his pajamas and onto the sheet on his crib. No biggie. It happens. I figured, "Well, the sheet is already wet, might as well let him get a little air down there for a while." So I left him diaper-less in his crib.

I left his nursery to go to the bathroom myself.

And then, the unthinkable happened.

I heard him squealing and having tons of fun in his room, so I went in to watch him play after I went to the bathroom.

Imagine my horror when I stuck my head through his bedroom door and saw...

POOP.

Finn had rolled over onto his stomach, so all I saw was two little smeared turds on the white sheet, and Finn's smiling face covered in poop. Covered. Hands, feet, back, legs -- covered. One or two little turds go a long way.

Yep, that's right. I'm ready for my Good Parenting Badge now. Thanks.

(There are no photos to accompany this post, and for my son's sake, even if there were, I would not post them on the internet for all of his progeny to witness in the future.)

4 Months!

Finn is four months old now (as of May 6). He's getting to be so fun! But he wants interaction with people almost non-stop, and I'm trying to find the balance of giving him enough interaction and giving him enough time to play without me. But, dang, it's hard, isn't it, mamas? I know at this point, his development hinges on human interaction, but I have to use the bathroom/take a shower, etc. every once in a while.

He's starting to laugh when we tickle him or make funny noises or faces. He's a roly poly -- flipping back and forth from his tummy to his back and vice versa immediately when we put him down. A couple of days ago, he realized that he can blow a raspberry, but when he buzzes his lips, it's more slobber than sound.

He's my little buddy. My sidekick. I'm so thankful for him and our little family.

(Also. Does anybody have tips for how to correct the overly warm tint that my camera seems to cast on every photo I take? I've restored the factory settings, and the whites are still sepia-toned.)
