Pooping

pooping

Lately this is what it looks like when Janie poops.  I try to give her prune juice but this comes with the territory when she starts more solid foods.  She has a very distinct cry when she’s pooping and she’ll stop in her tracks to get it out.  Poor baby.

Janie turned 37 weeks old today!  She’s less than 100 days away from her 1st birthday too.  What’s up with that?! She woke up just in time to ring in the new year with her family this week and she’s getting very close to crawling.

She also hadn’t pooped this year.  She waited until this evening, 1/4/13, for her first one and it was not fun for her.

poop, eat, sleep

I’ve realized that we’ve taken Janie’s regularity for granted.  When one of what I call the baby trinity is off, the others are off too.  It seems that our Little Janie is almost back to her old self this afternoon.  She’s still probably teething but what’s made a big difference today was that she pooped 3(!) times this afternoon.  She had been backed up for about two days, which can probably make anyone cranky and less hungry.  Today she drank a bottle of milk while we were out in the morning and actually took her usual 2-hour nap at noon, which she usually fights on the weekends.  Her 2:00 pm snack was still a little difficult (i.e. keeping her mouth shut, turning away from the spoon) but her 6:00 pm meal was back to normal (i.e. opening her mouth and leaning in for the spoon).  I was so relieved that I nearly cried when she finished her bowl of purees this evening.  Lastly, when it was time for bed around 8, she rolled onto her side and fell asleep.  Yes! All is well with the world when your baby poops, eats, and sleeps.
