Latest developments....

Joseph seems to have a stomach virus...on Monday morning we awoke to the sound of him playing in his crib and a stench so horrible that words cannot even begin to describe. At some point in the night Joseph had puked and pooped, soiling his sheets and Pittsburgh Pirates pajamas (apparently he wasn't too pleased with how they ended their season. He had also pooped his Steelers outfit Sunday afternoon which shows what he thought about their loss). Good news is that we got the stains out of the jammies and the shirt (who knew carrots and sweat potatoes were so dangerous), bad news is that he's still not fully recovered. Though he hasn't thrown up since then, he still has an explosive butt twice a day. We were greeted with yet another stench this morning and for the first time had to give him a bath as the result of a massive cablosion. Of course it didn't bother him at all, he was playing in his crib as usual and welcomed the opportunity to play in the water before heading off to daycare. We're not sure if it's just a regular virus or symptoms of teething, but other than being a bit more needy he seems fine. No temperature or anything. This morning I took a closer look at his mouth and it seems I'd been looking in the wrong place for teeth! I thought they'd pop right out of the top of his gums but low and behold there along the front of his gums were two white objects about half way up the gumline! This may also explain why he only eats an ounce or two out of the bottle, but still will eat his cereal, as I'm told the bottle can bother them while teething. So we'll be buying some yogurt this weekend for him to try so we can still make sure he's getting enough in that belly of his. We go to the doctor on Tuesday for his checkup and will make sure everything is ok!
