I am still recovering from what has to have been the biggest Ella mess I have ever seen. It was disgusting and I am not going to spare you any details because you weren't here and there isn't any photo evidence...
It all started about an hour ago after I finished feeding Ella - milk and then a jar of pears. I set her down on her little play mat and went to the bathroom. I wasn't gone even two minutes and when I came back Ella had rolled onto her belly and was COVERED in poo. I mean covered. I'm not talking a sissy 3-month-old poo. I'm talking large. Like something out of a man. Not anything my sweet little chubby faced girl could have created. But apparently she has abilities that I was unaware of. It was on her arms, her legs, her front, her back, her hair! I pulled her from the mess and held her as far away from me as possible while carrying her up to the bathtub...
Our first stop was the bathroom sink, where I peeled her clothes off of her and gave her a quick rinse. Then she got the most thorough bath any 6-month old has ever seen. Ella is one clean girl now... and finally sleeping. I guess she was just pooped out.
After I put her down for her nap (and put EVERYTHING - including the play mat - into the washer), I discovered that this monstrous feat of infant digestion was not limited to the floor. Oh no. I must have set her on the couch before I laid her down... The evidence was clear, which means - I somehow left her there not knowing that she had already taken her man-sized poo. Luckily, the damage was limited to one pillow and the cover was washable. But boy, am I exhausted! And not at all hungry for lunch :-)
p.s. Imagine pureed sweet potatoes. Combine it with some rice cereal. And add in some strained carrots for good measure.

This is totally hilarious!! If only we could have seen the look on her face when it happened :)
Ella was grinning. Confused, but definitely happy :-)
Too funny! What a little lady!
