Squirts!

Well, another Ayla milestone:) Future breastfeeding moms will soon agree and veteran breastfeeding moms will currently agree it literally is a squirt! When I first came home with Ayla I was reading the appropriate "pee and poop" schedule and after about day 3 or 4 they say "8-12 squirts" are necessary. Little did I know this is EXACTLY what they are. I have just recently stopped giggling when I hear the loud rip come out of my innocent little baby. I also never knew I would get so excited about soiled and wet diapers!
She is on the verge of sleeping through the night, but the poor thing has to wake herself to squirt. It is about fifteen minutes of fussing for 30 seconds, then back to sleep for 30 seconds, so on and so on-until I finally pick her up and wake her up so she can relieve herself, sometimes it is gas, sometimes poo. Well, tonight she did it in her sleep! Hooray for Ayla. Well, I hope you all enjoyed reading about Ayla's bowel movements, thanks for listening!
PS. Mylicon (gas relieving drops for infants) is amazing and works really well after night time feedings. It has a sweet taste so Ayla loves it. I will give it to Ayla after I feed her and then when she is struggling about two hours later to fart (I guess I should say toot now as a mom) I drop some in her mouth. She smiles and heads right back to sleep.

Hi Alicia
My Name is Dave Walker an old friend of your dad's.This morning I was on a website called Zillow I decided to look up a house I used to live in on SE 227th Place in Kent WA where your dad lived right across the street, we were in high school at the time I lived there about 3 years and he and I spent nearly every minute together he was like part of the family. We made pledge a that if we were every apart in future years that if we had a chance we look one another up,I feel great loss that hes gone and wish I would have keep that pledge, looking at the pictures I see he was a great Father and a good man.I know it's been years since his passing and I wish I could have sent this sooner but I just google his name and found out but I needed to let you know how sorry Iam for your loss. May God Bless you and your family.I hope its ok to send this in this format I didn't know how else to reach you
