Just in the past few days he has really become aware<br \/>\n    of conditions in his diaper. Instead of fighting the diaper<br \/>\n    changes, he now (usually) tells me has a poopy diaper and then<br \/>\n    climbs up onto the changing table and waits for me to change<br \/>\n    him. Today he even asked for Desitin , which he needed, and<br \/>\n    after I put the Desitin and clean diaper on, he kept telling me<br \/>\n    he had poop in his diaper. I imagine they feel similar &#8212;<br \/>\n    squishy and not-quite-right. Anyway, TMI for most of you, I&#8217;m<br \/>\n    sure, but a positive sign for me :)<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try\n    {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/Rovthnf8zaI\/AAAAAAAABeo\/08euCtnOYrQ\/s1600-h\/IMG_0799.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer;\n    cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/Rovthnf8zaI\/AAAAAAAABeo\/08euCtnOYrQ\/s200\/IMG_0799.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5083417766212193698\" \/><\/a>Eve, on the other hand, has started laughing and<br \/>\n    grabbing things. She likes her bibs and the dress she is<br \/>\n    wearing today. She also likes to hold my hand or arm when I&#8217;m<br \/>\n    changing her. It&#8217;s so sweet! I read recently that by 3 months<br \/>\n    babies are starting to sit up on their own. Not stably and<br \/>\n    consistently, but starting to. I realized that I never really<br \/>\n    tried sitting Eve up, so I gave it a shot and she promptly spit<br \/>\n    up everywhere :) Oh well. She also doesn&#8217;t get long stretches<br \/>\n    of tummy-time because that too makes her spit up. I think we<br \/>\n    need to hold off working her too hard until she gets better<br \/>\n    control of that esophagus! She is oh so sweet though. :)<br \/>[youtube=http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NbHrFZmunIQ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We started the day with a beautiful, sunny morning.
