Again, while Patrick was eating solid food today, he pooped. I could tell he was concentrating hard on it, and it looked like he had finished long before he was finished eating. Naturally, as soon as I cleaned him up and got him out of his high chair, I took him to his room to change his diaper. Gross, by the way...one of the first banana poops. I'll spare you the details. When we'd finished, I let him sit in his little chair in the living room and left him for just a minute to get his reflux medicine. I couldn't have been gone for more than a minute. When I got back, I smelled something suspicious again. Sure enough, he'd already pooped again (or still?). What fun. Of course, he'd just had his medicine, and it is best not to move him for about half an hour after taking the medicine so he doesn't spit it up. So I sat there smiling at him and trying not to breathe through my nose as he flirted with me for the next half hour. I was all too ready to get that smelly thing off him the first chance I got.
If you can't already tell, he's been in a better mood still today. He got a bit fussy for a while last night from teething again, but we were able to easily control the pain; it must not have been nearly as bad as Sunday. My favorite distraction activity last night was our excursion into the back yard. I'd tried taking him outside on Sunday, but the sun was too bright and the wind too strong for Patrick to enjoy himself. Last night, though, was cloudier with less wind. It felt a little cool to me, but Patrick didn't mind and we didn't stay out long anyway. Matt took a little time to water the grass, the last of his lawn chores from the weekend, so Patrick and I kept him company. The most fun part was when I let Patrick put his feet in the grass. That was his first chance to feel it. I expected some sort of reaction and was actually a little disappointed that he didn't even seem to notice. I'll have to try again in a few weeks to see if he has a reaction then.
I took a few pictures of him earlier and thought they would turn out well, but I was unimpressed. Either way, here are the two best.

Drooly boy...It gets really bad when he's teething. He was blowing bubbles with it while I was taking pictures.
Mmm...fingers!

I love the fingers in the mouth! He looks like he's working very hard at getting them all in there.
