Then came solids, and her poop quickly changed from slime to solid. At least it didn't leak out her back as much and stayed put in one solid round mound, but it started smeeeelll-ling.
I also love the smell of baby's breath. It smells so baby and so sweet. Some say it smells like rotten milk, but I firmly disagree. There is nothing much better than the smell of sweet baby's breath. Particularly my baby's breath.
Now from eating solids and Lily's new teeth (she is now showing 3 on top and one coming in on top, and 2 on bottom) her breath doesn't smell the same. My perfect creature is not perfect after all. Her breath stinks and her poop stinks. At least her breath is not repulsive...yet, but I hear it comes.
It was funny, the other day I fed Lily some left over spaghetti that I made with ground beef sautéed in garlic. My mom came over and was holding Lily and was like, why does she smell like garlic. I thought that babies had special saliva to fight off bad smells, but I was wrong.
So indeed, the perfect creature I thought I created has poop that stinks.

I remember being a new mom and actually liking the smell of Lily's poopy diapers. The sweet smell of breastmilk fed baby slime. It was a sweet smell, not offensive. Mostly it just reminded me of Lily, and I loved everything about her. I know it sounds weird, but I did like the smell.
