poops and giggles

The updates:

As we continue to adjust to parenthood, Selah continues to surprise and entertain us with new things.  As some may have heard, she was having a little trouble with her bowel movements.  This past weekend while at Kaky and Papa Jim's, we helped things along.  Since then she has been moving things just fine.  She is getting so good at it in fact, that she now has the ability to time when she goes.  She has managed to master the art of pooping while naked.  Once is a coincidence, twice is a conspiracy, three times is mastery.  Daddy's new nickname for her is slushy...get the picture?  She apparently likes her new trick because she flashes us a smile every time.  

On a cleaner, happier note, Selah has began occasionally making simple happy noises when she smiles.  Her giggles are one of the cutest things she's done so far.  Along with her giggles she has also discovered a new vocal range.  Her new happy coos are very high pitched and seem to excite her even more.  

Other news-worthy things:

She is gaining more control of her head.  It doesn't flop around as much anymore and she is able to lay it back down with control.  

She is also putting on the weight.  Over the last day or two she has gone through another growth spurt and you can really tell in her face.  She seems to be plumping up nicely.  

Food for Thought:

Isn't it funny how we get excited and even encourage gas, burps and chubbiness when we are infants but then turn them into offensive characteristics when we get older.
