When Adia woke up she was a little disoriented, but happy. Scott went to take his shower and I thought I'd try changing Adia into clothes. I had her pjs halfway off and her new onesie on when I noticed an odd smell. I looked down and noticed poop squirting out of the top of her diaper. I didn't get it on the clean onesie, but it was definitely on the pjs AND my pants. I carefully took her into the bathroom to clean her up, but still got it on the towel. It was tough to clean up, but eventually I succeeded. Adia actually stayed pretty still for the whole thing. I then had to take off my jeans and scrub them. They were the only "clean" pair I had with me so I didn't have a choice. The rest of the poopy stuff went into the washer. Adia was happy to be clean and dressed. She gladly went back to playing on the floor. The funny part though was she was wearing the cursed footed pjs. Every time she wears them she either pukes all over them or has a massive blowout. It happened again this time too.
We were then ready to head back home. We packed up the car, Scott put Adia in her car seat and I drove home. It was my first time driving in a little over two weeks. I haven't been able to since I broke my arm. Driving was fine except for when we got home. I had the hardest time pulling into our parking spot because my right arm does NOT bend that direction right now. Adia slept most of the way home and only woke up for the long road construction delays. She thinks that if the car has stopped moving, it must be time to get out.
After unpacking, we headed to the grocery store. Adia was in a pretty good mood and after disinfecting the cart, she rode in it. She was good through part of the shopping, but without the cart cover, the seat is a little too big for her. I had to hold onto her hands in order to stop her from hitting her head on the back. She didn't last so she ended up being carried. We traded back and forth while we shopped. She was not happy to be back in the car seat afterwards, but did like the short stop at Blockbuster.
When we got home, Adia started acting cranky again. Scott gave her a bottle while I put the groceries away and she fell back asleep. She slept for about a hour. When she woke up we were watching Meet the Robinsons. Kids really do like cartoons. Scott set her in the middle of all her toys and she played while watching the movie. She started swaying to the music and even laughing at one point. Out of the blue she started fussing again and arching her back. She didn't want to sit. She didn't want to be held. I asked Scott if she was wet and maybe wanted a diaper change. He took off her her pants and discovered a thoroughly filled diaper. She really hates to be sitting in her own poo. Once he changed her, she was happy. Then it was bouncing in the jumperoo until dinnertime.
Adia had a first at dinner tonight. I gave her come cut up pieces of banana and sweet potato. She couldn't manage to pick up the banana so I had to help her. It's only the third time she's ever had it and she really seemed to like it. It was funny to see how hard she had to concentrate to mash it with her gums before swallowing. She did really well with it, but she didn't like the sweet potato chunks. She mashed it with her gums, but gagged on it while she tried to swallow it. I guess it was too dry for her. She loved her sippy cup tonight and was really able to get the water out of it. She still can't hold it and tip it enough, but we're getting there.
I decided to take a bath with her tonight. She enjoyed the last time I was in the tub with her so I thought she would again tonight. She totally refused to sit on her own. She wanted to lean back against me or lay on my legs like she used to do as a newborn. For the last 2 months all she's wanted to do was sit, but I guess she really wanted the skin to skin with mommy. I was able to really clean her off though. Then Scott got her out of the tub and dressed her. She seemed really awake so I thought she'd want to play for awhile. Not tonight. She wanted a bottle and bed. I snuggled her on the couch and she finished off 6oz before passing out. She's now been her crib since 9pm. Hopefully we're getting back to normal and she sleeps well tonight.
