Another little parenting tip: If your baby has had a day of lots of spitting up, if you happen to get the urge to look lovingly into his face as you burp him…resist. Turn his head the other way, or, at the VERY least, close your mouth.
Just trust me on this one.
In other news, Camper had his very first awake smile today! (He usually just smiles in his sleep.) He’s been building up to it for a few days now with half smiles that turn into grimaces, but while I was changing his diaper today he let loose a big huge smile. At me? No. At John? No. It was Jesus. The picture of Jesus we have hanging over his changing table. I mean, OK, that’s sweet. He smiled at Jesus. But is it ok for me to get a little bit jealous? Lightening bolts? Naw. He understands.
