Rice cereal and the inevitable

OMG, who knew that such a seemingly innocuous product could bring such a messy disaster? I have been supplementing Avah's breast feeding with a bit of rice cereal here and there, and she really likes it. It's a great tool for when you need  your child to have a stomach that stays fuller for a longer period of time, like when you are traveling. 

However, the poopy diapers may come to a screeching halt! So for 4 days, nothing. Being concerned, I took a friend's advice and fed her another baby food...apples. Little did I know what storm was brewing in my little angel's belly. Once she got going, oh man, what a mess. Poop was flowing out of her diaper like lava, we're talking Mt. St. Helens here. In my haste to get her into the bath I failed to make sure she was "done" and the baby bath got poop bombed as well. So, we went to the other bathroom and used the "big people's tub" because by then we were both a friggin mess. 

In light of this hilarious event, I've decided to breast feed Avah until grade school.....just kidding.
