How did Newton miss this?



I have been battling with a question for a few weeks now. I keep expecting that the answer will just fall from the sky and smack me in the face and it will all make sense. It's not happening so I will send this out to all the parents out there. Why does baby poop defy gravity? There is a big old diaper there that covers a large area but for some reason baby poop defies gravity and goes right up the back. This doesn't seem like the logical option even if the diaper is full. You would think it would work WITH gravity and go down or even at worst out the side of the diaper. Nope. Not this kid. Straight out and up the back. I think Newton with all his theories on gravity must not have had children.
Laney is doing great. The physical therapist is going to be here in about an hour to weigh her. best we can guess she is getting close to 10 pounds! I know...double digits! She is growing so fast. I am guessing this would explain why she has been wanting to eat every hour and a half lately. She is sleeping better. We get up between 2 and 3 and then between 5 and 6 but at that point I feed her and dad takes her and they get to hang out while mom takes 1 more nap.
She still has not passed her hearing screen yet. We are absolutely convinced that she hears fine but we are waiting for some fluid in her ears to clear up before she is tested again. We will know again in a couple weeks.
Our last great endeavour was a BBQ for her. We wanted to thank as many of our friends and family as we could get together. We ended up with about 70 people. Thank god for the big back yard! It was a great time. Laney was exhausted and it took her a day or two to get back on track but she did great. For all of you that weren't here we want to thank you for all of your prayers and happy thoughts sent our way. All of that was used up and now we have a beautiful and happy little girl that is growing like a weed! I need to get moving for the day but if anyone figures out how baby poop has the power to defy gravity I would be very interested to know.

  1. Angie - it is called the path of least resistance, and sorry to tell ya, it always follows this path ;) Glad to hear Laney is doing great. Katherine
