5 Months of Poop

So I am a self-proclaimed expert baby poop remover! Any outfit, any style, any color - I can knock it out with my powerful concoction of 20 Mule Team Borax, Clorox color safe bleach (free for sensitive skin) and Shout. Rinse the poop off in the sink, fill it up with the Borax and the bleach then spray the stain with Shout (Shout it out!) and let it soak for a good long while...then rinse and retreat if necessary. I have never seen a baby blow out so many stinking diapers! And when he really explodes it just goes everywhere - front, back, legs. Oh what a mess that child can make - almost enough to want to rush him into potty training! :)

So Joey is 5 months old now and officially "slept through the night" a couple of nights ago by going from 7pm to 6:30am. I was SO thrilled! Then he woke up absolutely starving and gulped down a ton of breast milk, only to spew half of it back up all over me, him and the bed. *Sigh* My washer and dryer are going to be worn out before the next decade for sure! And now he is getting more difficult to breastfeed in public or even with other people around, he is so curious and just wants to check it all out - especially whenever he hears his daddy's voice. He's learning how to sit up and is getting very proficient at sucking his thumb. I am a very proud mommy of my "Big Brother" and my "Little Brother"!
