Holy fussy baby!
Nyla has been a fussy little girl the last two or three days. In general, she's a calm baby who only throws a little fit when she's hungry. Not the last few days though! It seems like NOTHING is calming to her. Not bottles, not boobie, not swinging, not playing with her toys. NOTHING.
Well, not nothing. She likes to be held. All the time, even when she's sleeping. But think about the complex we'd give her if we held her every waking second. We don't want her to be overly dependent on someone holding her everyday.
I checked online and it says that babies between 8-10 weeks go through their second growth spurt. That explains everything! We're attributing her fussiness to growing. And Lord knows, she is growing. At 9 weeks today, she is already wearing 3-6 month clothes...and the ones with the footies are snug. Some of them are so snug in the crotch, her diaper is about to be a camel toe. That's snug.
In other news, her poop is also maturing. What once was peanut-butter like and didn't really have that bad of an odor has morphed into cake icing textured, just flat-out heinous smelling poo. The kind that chokes you a little bit when you open the diaper. Our home is so small that if she poops while she's in the living room, you can smell it in the bedroom...when the doors are closed. And this smell is one you can't shake for awhile. Uncle Woody says that he smelled it for days after babysitting on Friday. What's totally rancid is that this smell will be like roses compared to the scent when she starts eating actual food. Bleh. Thankfully, we have managed to successfully keep her poops in her diapers instead of on us! Small victories for the Ellis family!
