Baby poop...its a surprise every day!!

So Kaden, who turns 6 months tomorrow, has been eating cereal and food for a month now.  So far he loves rice cereal, cantaloupe, strawberries, and avocado but spits out sweet potatoes and carrots.  I'm still trying the carrots though since we just tried those for the first time last night.  Fingers crossed that he'll like at least some veggies.  I'm sure my mother is laughing though since I was such a picky eater!!

I'm making my own baby food since its so easy and so much cheaper.  I think its nuts how much baby stuff in general cost.  Luckily I've found lots of recipes for baby food, and some great charts on when to start feeding them what.  Click here for great ideas!!
 

Since feeding Kaden something other than breast milk the poop has changed...for better and for worse!!  It's a surprise everyday-like today, kinda mustard colored and really soft.  The other day it was a little more solid and brown.  He still only poops every couple of days, which is not unusual with breastfed babies, but I'm guessing the more he eats food then the more often he will start to poop.  Gee I can't wait!!  It's been nice only having to clean a poopy diaper every few days.  Plus his poop doesn't stink that bad.  Kinda have to be pretty close to even know he has a poopy diaper.  Not so much the case with his gas.  The kid could clear a room with that gassy ass!!  Lord love him though cause no matter how smelly his gas/poop is, he sure is darn cute!!

Getting Milked...aka breastfeeding!!

So last night we were in bed watching a movie and eating popcorn, I was breastfeeding Kaden before putting him to bed and this is the conversation that followed...

Paul: what's it feel like to be milked?

Me: Milked??

Paul: Yeah you know when Kaden eats?

Me: Umm...(laughing)

Paul: Does it feel good?

Me: Umm...I wouldn't say that exactly(still laughing)

Paul: I mean when you're that full can you feel relief when he eats?

Me: So there was a plate of food the kids left on the couch, Angel ate all the chicken.  When I asked Manny(a friend's son) about the empty plate he pointed to Angel.  I looked at her and she was smacking and licking her lips together.( I tried to change to topic to something that happened earlier, didn't work)

Paul: Thats pretty funny(looks at Kaden again) but does it feel good?

Me: My boobs don't hurt anymore but it's not like I feel like I'm being milked and its not a feeling that just washes over me with relief.

Paul: Ok, that's all I wanted to know?

Me: You know what does feel weird though...when Kaden falls half asleep while eating.  He kind of gets a half smile on his face and flicks his tongue on my nipple.  Cracks me up every time he does it.

Paul: Thats my boy!!

That was definitely an interesting conversation to end our day!!  I'm now forever going to think about myself being "milked" while I feed my son!!
