*Warning - Gross Poopy Pics* & 4 month check-up info

Addison had her 4 month check-up this morning! Here are her stats: weight 14lbs, length 24 1/2in, head 16 1/4. She remains in the 50th percentile on all growth charts. Dr. Khanfar said that she is perfect & doing well. WOOHOO!!! He gave me the green light to go ahead & start cereal (rice or oatmeal) & solids. But left the decision up to me. Most babies start solids between 4-6 months and Dr. Khanfar is fine with whatever we decide. The schedule he suggests is 4 months - cereal, 5 months - veggies, 6 months - fruits/juice. Absolutely no peanut butter, strawberries, oranges, eggs or cow's milk until 1 year. I believe we are going to hold off until 6 months for cereal & solids.

I put Addy in her bouncer this morning while I was getting ready. She has started to try & wiggle out of it so now she has to be strapped in the seat. While I was doing my hair I heard her tooting LOUDLY! So, I looked over at her & told her 'Sounds like someone needs a diaper change'. She just smiled & cooed. I go over & unstrap her from the bouncer & this is what I found:

Of course, wipes wouldn't even come close to cleaning this blowout, so Addy got a bath this morning. I laid out newspaper & paper towels on the floor & put on my rubber gloves. This was SO GROSS!!! I was so worried about getting the poop on her face/head when taking the onesie off that I almost had myself convinced to just cut it off her! lol. But I didn't - I very carefully removed it. Here are some more pics of the blowout:

She thinks this is hilarious!


Blake just informed me that I don't fasten her diapers tight enough & this is why she had a blowout up the front of her stomach. I think that would have been a blowout regardless of how the diaper was fastened!

Wednesday we go for Addy's 4 month shots. I dread this without Blake being here with us.

After Addy's dr appt we met Memaw & Papaw Richard at Waffle House for breakfast.

We have had MANY blowouts. Seems no matter how tight we put the diapers on, for some reason we have had tons of them! Not so many nowadays but tons in the past. We had one like that when she was about 3 months old and lets just say it happened while Ryan was feeding her. Yeah, it was nice I tell you! He was grossed out for days and his shirt was stained! haha!
