My desktop is COVERED with articles surrounding the shooting in LA, and I’m sure when I get a chance to there will be even more information.
Right now the topic of the day is POOP!
Little LaWeer’da had a great day today with Grand Parents. We went for a long walk together, we had food, the Mrs. and I took turns taking naps, and little baby got more than her fair share of love and adorations.
Still after the folks left she started getting fussy. A short nap and a little food seemed to make things better.
Then came some HORRIBLE sounds. It sounded a bit like a fire hose pumping tuna salad….and there was an odor. We also got a call from the San Andreas seismic institute that they had picked up a small quake measuring 0.8 coming from Massachusetts and wondered if my instruments picked it up too.
Once some time had passed to make sure there weren’t any aftershocks the little lady began phoning the Casa Weer’d complaints department noting that SOMETHING needed to be done, and soon.
I smartly called the wife and had her fly shotgun on this mission.
As I opened her jammies I noticed there was a brown stain…just above her belly button. As I decided a costume change was in need I noticed there was another stain on the knee of said jammies.
With clothes removed the diaper was structurally intact and secure….and filled to 120% capacity. Thankfully the cleanup wasn’t too bad, and now things are back to a relative norm. But those clothes are currently being soaked in a bucket of warm soapy water, and little Miss has an appointment with the dreaded tub!
I’m off to do more errands, but again more blogging in the near future!
She’ll do better than that before long… And will learn to ‘wait’ until you change her to “finish” her business, making the second changing a necessity before you can even get her out of the room… BTDT!!!
This sure brings memories back.
Ahh – ‘member that! Thankfully the odor has not yet arrived apparently. (When it does – fake allergies – worked for my DH a few times)

And that will be your topic pretty much till toilet training is achieved.
One thing I have noticed is that having kids will recalibrate a person’s Gross!-O-Meter.
It really does. It’s apparent you’re a parent when the default response is “grab a rag and start scrubbing,” to an urgent sanitation situation accurately described as “vomit, projectile: counters, floors, walls, and ceiling.”
(And yes, I’ve cleaned that. Without gagging, I might add.)
Too be fair, I’ll be impressed if this little girl can out gross some of the nasty shit hauled from the depths of the North Atlantic during my field Marine Biology year.
So far she can’t even top the smell of a freshly dead dolphin’s entrails.
Kid poo retains its “bad cheese” odor until they start on solid foods. Then, you’re in for some real whoppers!
Or, as a comedian (sorry, I don’t remember who) put it: “When the diaper box says ‘8-12 pounds,’ they’re not lying; that is all those things will hold!” 😀

But enough about the Obama Administration!
Seriously, DWH Jr. is 8 weeks old today. What he doesn’t have in volume (read: amount) or stench is more than made up with sound! I know college students who would be envious! I laugh… Mrs. DWH gives me the look. Then we all move on accepting each others immaturity and narrow sense of humor (respectively). Farts are funny because they are. I look at them as a baby’s first attempt at observing his right to freedom of speech and expression!
