Fart Factory

Today, Milo had a few good naps. I was pretty pleased with how well she slept. She’s beginning to nap on her own (without needing me to hold her) more and more, so I’m able to get a little bit done during those times. Today it was dishes!

Milo has also begun a kind of routine that I’m not sure I really like. She’ll go a day or two without a really good poop, and then one day she’ll really unload. In the interim, she’s gassy and uncomfortable. As long as she continues pooping and doesn’t have a hard stomach or black poop, I’m told it’s fine. I think I’ll continue giving her belly massages and tummy time to help things out.

Also, Milo is the gassiest baby I’ve ever known! She farts sometimes and I swear they sound like adult farts! Just now, as Chase is feeding her, she let one rip that continued for a couple of seconds. We just stared at her as she stared out into space (focusing on getting it out, I suppose), and we were both very impressed. I just know that Kenneth is going to love it!

New development: Milo doesn’t fall asleep right away when she’s in the moby wrap, so that means she’s able to look around more at her surroundings. This has been going on for several days, maybe a week now. It’s still a bit nerve racking because when she doesn’t fall asleep right away, I worry that she’s going to fuss and try to kick her way out of the wrap. But it’s also exciting because I get to talk to her more and she can look at more things. The down side to the moby wrap is that it’s HOT these days, so both Milo and I sweat and sweat when we go out. But we’re still getting out at least for an hour each day, which is a win.
