One of the many joys of a newborn is experiencing how his body processes food. The funny thing is that it looks very different coming out then it did going in. (Avoid reading further on a full stomach)

For example:
At this point in his young life his poo (which I see several times a day) strongly resembles stone ground mustard. I very much enjoy mustard but may have to avoid the stone ground kind for some time.

Early this morning the little guy was being pretty fussy. In an attempt to get a couple more hours of sleep I put him on my chest and patted his back until he calmed down and fell asleep. It worked and we both slept for another hour. When I got up to go to work I noticed a cottage cheese like substance on my chest and then realized he had ’spit up’ (the infant term for blowing chunks).

More food like descriptions to come…
