Beau sat in my lap while we ate and at one point when I was almost done he squealed. He couldn't understand why that fork wasn't headed towards his mouth. We have been giving him food again this past week. No more than half a serving of fruit, Bananas & Applesauce. He had a tiny bit of rice cereal in his bananas last night. Again, like I mentioned before he seemed gassier and now almost constipated. He is a really regular guy but I still know most babies his age don't go every day so when he missed a day recently I thought nothing of it. But lately he just seems a little uncomfortable here and there and a little fussy which is unlike our Beau. Could it be reflux, teething, gas, constipation???? So of course I turned to Dr. Google. I have a truly fabulous relationship with his pediatrician and we talk and email ALL the time .(I also do her billing and not a conversation goes by without her asking how Beau is) BUT, I feel really guilty bugging her for every little detail when my child is perfectly healthy and happy so I consulted with Dr. Google this weekend and apparently there are three things when you start solids that will constipate your baby and we have been shoveling 2 of them into him. Bananas & Applesauce. Rice cereal is the third but I haven't really given him any of that(no time to pump lately). I swear, if there were a manual of things to NOT do it seems like we must follow that book to a "T". Here I was thinking fruit was good for regularity. Apparently pears and prunes are. So I suppose we will try veggies and pears. I am still not going to give him any more than what he will eat AFTER he has visited the dairy bar as I know that is the most nutritious and high calorie meal he can get right now BUT he LOVES the daily snack he gets so there you have it! And SURPRISE, just like that this post of family fun turned into a dissertation on my child's BM habits, Ha! After breakfast Beau showed all his tricks. He bounced in his bouncy seat and rode his horsey and sat up.
After spending quality time with Papaw, NaNa & Aunt Megan, Beau's Na Na came to pick us up to go shopping at Carriage Crossing in Collierville. Can you say Gymboree, Baby Gap, Swoozies, Children's Place & Dillards. Na Na was too generous! Mr. Beau will be stylin!
After that he slept through a trip to Michaels and Debe's friend Gloria's house. Can you say TUCKERED OUT! Well I won't reveal any pics just yet of the kitchen. The cabinets are painted inside and out and the contents of my kitchen have now been moved back into the kitchen with the exception of 2 large boxes for Goodwill. We do have hardware. We just decided on in stock hardware once we realized how many pieces we needed. Yikes! Now we just need to do the touch ups and order the wall paper. Yea! It looks amazing though right now. So much brighter! Thanks Honey!
