Poopy Week

And I mean that literally! Last weekend Allison pooped in my bath tub. The next time she had a bath Frank pulled off her diaper right before putting her in, and didn't check the diaper. Yep, it was dirty and so was her rear end. So we had 'floaties' round two. Of course all this makes Allison really upset because she loves her bath and she was taken out early the first time, and was stalled for 10 minutes the second time.

Yesterday I wanted to take her to the pool. It was a beautiful day, and we were bored so I set my mind on it. Getting her ready is not an easy task either. I have to put her in her swim diaper and then squeeze her into her 12mo swimsuit. It's honestly a bit too small, but Target was out of 18mo last time I checked so she's just going to have to wear what she has. Once she's all suited up I have to chase her around the living room while trying to apply sunscreen evenly. After that I have to get myself ready as well as pull together all the toys, towels, keys, phone, etc that we need at the pool. Once we were finally packed and dressed I scooped her up to head for the car - and that's when I smelled it. I was SO hoping we had all of our bad poop luck out of the way! I seriously almost gave up on the idea all together. The only thing that kept me going was the fact that she was so greasy from the sunscreen that I had to choose between a bath or the pool. So I pull off her swimsuit, and peek into her diaper. It's a mess, and at the time I didn't know that you could rip the sides of the diaper to get it off. (I just read that on the package this morning). So I pull it off as gently as I can and it still gets all down her legs. Of course she's kicking and squirming because we've already done this once and her patience is totally lost. Ugh!

We had a good time at the pool, though. I met another mom there and we are going for a play date tomorrow morning! Yay! I'm also convinced that Allison got her daddy's skin tone! I'm SOO happy for her! Now she won't have to go through life with pale skin and a very likely sunburn every summer. In fact, I came home yesterday with my back as pink as my hot pink bath towel. Awesome.

One more update - my baby has six teeth! I was holding her upside down and tickling her this morning (she loves it, I promise!) and while she was laughing I saw four teeth on the top! Three of them are just barely poking through, but they are definitely there! She's also running now. Who knew she would learn so fast?

Ok, that's it. Sorry for the lack of pictures. We seriously need to invest in another point-and-shoot.
