Rough few days...

I have neglected you blog. I do apologize. It's been a rough few days at the Deese house...

As of yesterday, Colt hadn't pooped in 6 days. For an adult that wouldn't be the end of the world but for an almost 6 month old it's MAJOR. At day 3 we started giving him pear juice which normally helps get things going. Day 4-6 we gave him prunes and water. Nothing. The entire weekend my sweet baby boy was in so much pain and nothing I did seemed to take away his pain. His screams and cries for relief broke my heart and brought me to tears myself. Finally I called Raleigh Peds nurse line through Wake Med. The nurse told me "mother to mother" to try Karo syrup. PRAISE :) Within an hour things got rolling and Colt finally got some relief! Today at daycare, I called to check on my little man and Mrs. Jean had great news. Colt had a major bLoWoUt and when I say major I mean MAJOR! It was so bad I think we have to throw away his clothes. It went up his back, down both legs and up almost under his armpits. Talk about a poop covered baby. I've never been so excited about poop.

I love being outside!

Such a stud muffin.

On a brighter note...

Yesterday we had some amazing weather in the Raleigh area! Colt, mommy and daddy went and played in the front yard and had a blast! It was Colt's first time playing in the grass...well not in the grass but on a blanket. We enjoyed the fresh air.

I made my first batch of baby food this weekend...aside from the bananas I mashed last week. We made prunes to help with Colt's blockage. Yuck. Got to save money though. I asked in a previous post if there was anything my son wouldn't eat? I was sure prunes were going to be a no go. I was wRoNg. He loved them. Who would have thought. Mommy almost gagged. Again. Thankfully today was our last day of prunes. Tomorrow is avocados!! I'm pretty excited about these hopefully Colt is too!

All tuckered out. Snuggling with his dog Scout.

I was trying to give kisses. He was trying to eat my nose.

(Grungy picture of me sorry)

I love you.
