Bailey is a mere nine days old, and she's already growing up too fast. Since the day she was born, she's been holding her head up when she's on her stomach, and trying to look all around. She turns from her back to her side with all her might, and one day soon she'll probably be turning over onto her stomach. And you've heard of projectile vomit? Bailey can projectile poo! I was changing a dirty diaper today, and she started peeing, so I lifted up her legs so she wouldn't get it all over her legs. She then proceeded to shoot a stream of poo through the air, a good 18 inches across the changing pad, hitting me in the arm! It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. I only wish someone else had been there to witness the sheer power of her bowels.

Posted by: John at December 3, 2003 01:58 AMWelcome to daddyhood. Sounds like you've got a keeper. My son Isaac is almost 2 now, and that's pretty incredible in itself. Every age and stage has its own set of wonders and amazements.

At some point I'm sure they'll start down the other side of the curve, but for the next quite-a-few years, I can assure that it keeps getting better and better and better.
Congratulations!
