Blowouts

It has been almost 2 weeks since my last post so I decided to get caught up with a great topic; "blowouts."  Blowouts is the term used when a baby relieves himself and the "o-rings"(or sides of the diaper) can no longer hold the oozing putty from within.  Baby Carter manages to have about 3-4 blowouts a week, mostly after his mid-day feeding.  There are parents who believe that you can prevent blowouts from occurring by changing a baby's diaper every hour but I am here to tell you that is absolutely crap! (no pun intended).  I can list three occasions in the past week where Baby Carter had on a fresh and dry diaper, and all of a sudden my pants look like I spilled a bottle of yellow mustard all over them.  I know I wan't eating hotdogs or brats so it definitely was not mustard!  In any case, blowouts are a great excuse for giving Baby Carter a nice clean bath and it is acceptable to treat yourself to a new wardrobe as well.  Baby Carter continues to defy the laws of physics and I look forward to what future lessons await!
