I have learned that even if she has spit up 2 times already she may still have some projectile vomit reserved for my face. The other morning I brought her into bed with Rich and I so we could stare at her...because that is what we do now. I put in this picture to give you a gauge of distance (Rich said she was even 3 or 4 inches further from my face). She was just looking around and being very content then out of nowhere she yaks all over my face, my pony tail, my pillow and the sheets. AWESOME!
I learned that baby poop can shoot with amazing velocity. This face should be a big warning to me. Red faced little grunt= take cover. The other night I was changing her diaper and I made sure I put her clean diaper under the dirty diaper, so I thought I was safe. Not so my friends. She managed to shoot a lovely mustard yellow substance all over her changing pad, part of the dresser and onto my makeup bag that was sitting on the dresser.
Speaking of poop...I have learned that blowouts can happen in the front. The shear physics of this are still a mystery to me.
I have learned she is already refining her daddy's girl tricks. I am sure she will use this face on her dad in the future to get her way. I am already picturing this, "please daddy....I will be so sad if you don't buy me these $500 jeans." Insert sad face here.
I have learned that it doesn't matter how prepared I am, if she is screaming that will trump all my preparation. AND don't rush a feeding.Last Sunday I thought I was on top of it. Rich bathed her and dressed her and she spent time being adorable for her grandparents who came over when they were driving through Richmond. Then I made a dozen chicken salad sandwiches and peanut butter bars for the linger longer that was after church and woke her up to feed her. She kept falling asleep while feeding so I figured she was done and changed her diaper. I thought fortune was on my side because she pooped during the changing and I didn't get ANY of it on her or her white dress or white booties. I went to put her in the carseat and I was so excited because I was going to make it on time to our first solo outing. Well, as you can see she started shrieking. Apparently, she really was hungry despite falling asleep.
She was SO very angry.
I have learned that I absolutely love this little lady.

She is so cute! One time Ollie projectile pooped all over the pediatrician's office. Walls, computer, everything. It was slightly embarrassing.
What's not to love?! She's SO CUTE!! I'm glad you are learning as you go and enjoying ALL the challenges and joys of parenthood. :)
Being a mom (and dad) is so great. It's different than you think, but if you give yourself over to it, it is the most wonderful experience ever. It looks like you guys are doing awesome! She is a doll.

Her little faces are the best! I am pretty sure I would smother her like crazy if I was there. Love the post. Totally made me laugh. Even after three kids, I still have to relearn this stuff every time!
She's pretty much perfect! Some adorable pictures of her for sure! The blowout thing amazes me too- everytime. Also, I would often go back to bed with a fairly large spot on my pajamas that had been saturated in spit up during the night time feedings. I was always too darn tired to change. Keep up the great work!
seriously so darn cute! love this post...it makes me miss the days of only having one babe to go gaga over all day! enjoy these glory days- you 3 deserve it!!! miss ya all! good luck with the blow outs:)
I can't believe how much she has filled out and grown! I love all of her facial expressions; oh so cute!
