Good Days

The last few days, we've actually had a somewhat happy Rylee!  Yayyyyyyyy!!!!!!  She still has her moments of course, but she has been puke free two days in a ROW.  Eating has been a little better.  Not great, but better.  We've been able to have more play time than usual.  She is just all around in a much, much better mood.

Partly, I think it's because she has had a couple of good poops.  Haha!  No, but seriously.  I don't know if she is truly constipated, or if she just holds back because she's learned it hurts her poor little bottom.  It wouldn't be a surprise if she does have constipation issues.  My sister and my oldest niece have issues with it, and my little baby niece went daayyyysssss without pooping for her first several months, and usually needed a little help to get things moving.  Why would my sister and nieces have anything to do with my little Rylee you may ask?  Well, don't forget, my sister was our egg donor.  One of the advantages of having a known donor is that we are privy to these kinds of things.

So maybe that's two strikes against Rylee in the pooping department - maybe she is both constipated AND holds back for fear of it hurting.  Who knows?

Is this REALLY the reason for her rare good days, or is it just a coincidence?  I don't really care why.  I'm just happy that she is more happy.

Look at that adorable smile!

She loves to stick out her tongue :)

Are they trading places?  Rylee is happy and Ayden is....not?

Now that I post these pictures, I have to laugh at the fact that she is wearing a shirt saying "Auntie said I could."  It strikes me as funny that I was just talking about her Auntie (my sister) and their pooping problems, and Rylee happens to be wearing a onsie about her.  It's like Auntie J maybe gave her permission to just let it all out!

*When I started this post, I had no idea it was going to be all about poop!  HA!
