It seems like all there is is Poo

So it seems like bodily functions are all I write about these days. Well Lilly Rose's bodily functions. If it's not spit up, it's urine, if it's not urine, it's poo. If it's not poo, then vomit. It feels like one of those conditional statements from geometry, if not x, then y. If angle A is congruent to Angle B, then something happens. I can't remember - I think the interior angles are equal. It's got something to do with 45 degrees or maybe that's with a right triangle. Anyway, I digress. But what else is new?

Anyway, Mark was giving Lilly her bath last night - his first time, so we videotaped it - yes, it seems like we document everything, it's all so new and exciting. Mark's dad told us to keep some of the excitement in for the next child. And we have a bath routine - she goes in the water, I get the wash cloth, we talk, and then I start with her face. We talk about getting the milk crusties (should she have any) out, wash her cheeks, nose, forehead. Then we move onto the hair. Get it wet before putting Johnson and Johnson's shampoo and lathering it on the scalp. Then we wash it out to get to the rest of the body. It's Aveeno Lavender Body Wash that we use on her. It's nice and soothing. And it says it calms babies. What a gold mine they must have. We work that onto a lather on her skin, wash it off and then get her out of the tub.

Well, I had just started the routine with Mark, we had just talked about the face. He was wiping her forehead off, when all of sudden we heard a noise ( I wish I could explain it better than just a noise, but you have to hear it from her to get it the best) and looked down to see her excrement floating in the water. And her just as a happy as she could be - she should be, at least her stomach felt better and now she had room for her dessert when she got out of the bath. We look at each, dumbfounded and then start to laugh. This is a new one for us. We've had explosive poo in the car seat, on me, on her, in the diaper. And now her bathtub. She's gotten that as well. So she's definitely making her mark. We get her out of the tub. Mark holds her while I wash it out, and then re-run the bath water and fill her little tub. We then start the routine again, go with the face, onto the hair, then the body. And as Mark's finishing, I see some more poo, just floating, turns out while we were washing the body, she quietly let some go. At least she's regular. And feels comfortable enough to do it not just in her diaper, but out in the open with us.
