After posting, I changed into my most comfortable nightgown (newly warm out of the dryer) and my fuzzy bathrobe, and I sat down on my couch with the night's music still a fresh buzz in my ears and a hot cup of tea in my hand. I put my feet up on my coffee table and closed my eyes to a sense of deep satisfaction and exhausted contentment. From the babyswing came the sounds of the little man fussing and stirring in his sleep, so I picked him up gently and laid him on my chest with my bathrobe wrapped around him and my cheek resting against his small head and marveled at the magic of children and my good fortune. He opened his eyes for just a moment and smiled an uncertain half-smile at me, as if to say, I love you mom and you are always here for me when I need you most, and then he superbarfed all over me, my bathrobe, my couch, and the floor.

Sigh. Guess I've gotta do some laundry before I go to bed. No way I want that still waiting for me in the morning.

Oh, you too? Though it was our daughter, and then around 3:30 Mommy got the same bug. Now I wait to find out if I got it...

I was going to ask, "How much barf can one baby hold?"

Then, I realized, no, I really don't want to know the answer to that question. :)

Babies are barf TARDISes. It's astounding.

We saw this just yesterday on America's Home Videos. Long time from now, it will be funny.

Why do babies puke so much? I don't get it. Does the one-way digestive valve grow in later?

spit-up is one thing (at a very young age the valve at the top of the stomach can be lazy), barf is another entirely. I suspect this was a combination of New Food grumblies coupled with my switching out the bottles for "faster" bottles and him taking down 6 oz in about 30 seconds instead of his usual 5 min. He's definitely back on the slow bottles for a while longer.

Ah, so it's the same as a freshman chugging. Got it.

Ah. That's why he didn't do it after I fed him -- he couldn't stare in fascination at strange people and eat efficiently at the same time, so it took him a while to get it all down. Glad it was you and not me^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Sorry about the gastric event.

He's a great kid, though.
