2011 The Eruption of Mount St. Leyton

So hungry he's eating mom's sweatshirt
Leyton hasn't been sleeping very well this past week.  (he's been sleeping thru the night since he was three months old).  When you have a baby, you plan on sleepless nights for a while, but once they've been sleeping thru the night for a couple of months on a regular basis, its really tough to go back.  MAKE ME HULK-OUT AND WANT SMASH THINGS!  ARGHHH!

Anyhow, Steph took him to the doc on Friday and he has an ear infection.  So, the doc gave him an antibiotic which proceeded to give him explosive diarrhea.  I'm talking explosive.  We may need to get the Guinness people over here, cause I think we have a record.  Armpits and toes covered at the same time from a single incident.  He hasn't had much of anything to eat for over nearly 36 hours.  Twice during that timeframe, we've thought he was done and given him a little rice cereal.  Both times it resulted in another eruption.

I'm recalling the first law of thermodynamics from engineering school:

Energy can be transformed from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed.


Leyton is testing that theory, because, I don't see how it is possible for two baby spoons of rice cereal to turn into the seething, frothing mass that had him covered from head to toe last night without some kind of creationary intervention.

"In this house we obey the LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS!" - Homer J Simpson

We called the on call doc line Saturday and have taken him off the antibiotic.  Back to the doc this afternoon for something else.  And maybe a side of immodium....
