mom,mom,mom,mom,mom,mom.....
Why is it that kids feel the need to repeat things SO many times? Cam repeats the same word or sentence about 10 times before I even have a chance to answer her. I wonder why. Did I once ignore her and now she feels the need to have to keep repeating until she knows she has my attention? It seems to be a habit I see in a lot of young children though. Do we unknowingly ignore them? Or is it just something that is instilled in them somehow? I wonder....what are your thoughts?

Baby Poop Decoder!
If you're anything like me you wonder about your babies poop sometimes. It's like a surprise everytime you change their diaper, what color is it going to be this time? :) Well after changing an orange diaper yesterday I decided to look into it and found this site which I am now fond of. Check out the poop decoder....it may help you too.
So when Andi was having green poop for awhile I looked into it and like the above site says there is nothing wrong with that, especially for formula fed babies, but if you are breastfeeding and they are having consistent green diapers it could mean that they are not getting enough hind milk so make sure they completely drain at least one side every feeding as to make sure they are getting the proper fore milk/hind milk ratio.
