Stealth Pooper: Warning! Potty Talk

Lily has suddenly become a stealth pooper! Used to be we could hear it and tell right away, poop alert, man the changing table! To your battle stations, load the wipes! And we could tell the difference between her little motorbutt farts and the juicy sound of baby poo. Alas, times have changed. With the introduction of solid foods in the last month, her poop has changed. Of course, there's the lovely orange color from the carrots. But now it's silent poo. And sometimes we don't know it's just sittin' in there. Which is not fun, you don't want your baby sittin' in poo! So we have to do (doo?) more frequent poop checks now. This is where you unzip one leg of the footie, and pull the elastic away from one little cheek and take a peek. And she's been fooling us lately. We think we're so smart, we know our baby so well, she'll make this particular type of farty noise and we're like "Oh, yeah, that's poo." But (butt?) the poo check reveals a false alarm! Amazing, these babies, how they grow and change and you have to keep relearning them.
