I picked my 10-month old son up from homecare yesterday after work and took him home and we were playing all kinds of fabulous games. He was all smiley and giggly, so of course I was tossing him up in the air and swinging him all around when it happened... He puked. Not like baby spit-up either. Adult vomit complete with the smell that only adult vomit has. Guess where it landed? You can imagine that if I was holding Noah up something like this... (this is an old picture but for dramatization's sake):
Yep, right in my mouth and down my neck. I actually choked a little and swollowed some of it before yakking it out all over my neck. It was warm. It was running down my chin and chest and filled up the inner parts of my bra cups. Noah looked at the drippy vomit and he literally laughed. Little pecker. Sorry I didn't stop to take a picture for this blog entry, I ran into the bathroom and began throwing water on my face and into my mouth. I think I spit like 100 times, then brushed my teeth for about 6 minutes before throwing the toothbrush away. I then took a bath with the kid, but kept his diaper on b/c I wasn't going to tempt fate...
Apparently this is like a rite of passage for parents, but it is NOT cute and I would rather it NEVER happen again. Oh, and the worst thing about it is that the rest of the evening Noah would look at me and say, "Daddy?" over and over. Everything I went through and he can't even reward me with a little jarbled "mommy." He's gonna hear about this for the rest of his life when he does something wrong. The only thing I could think of that could be worse would be if it were your dog...

Wow. I didn't know 10-month olds were capable of adult-like vomit. I'll have to remember that the next time I'm holding my nephew in the air!!
So sorry you had to go through that. It made me want to gag just reading it.
Actually, Noah has vomited before. He ate a bad jar of baby food and threw up 3 times that night. We heard him crying and by the time we got in his room, there was like a pint of adult vomit smeared all over his face and hair, and in his ear. SO gross.
That is just nasty. My first experience with the little guy vomitting was in my car. Yeah, vomit in all the crevices of a carseat, carpet, baby and a little on me. Just nasty. Thanks for sharing.
oh my gosh. how did you not puke?
Go Noah! I'm surprised he said "daddy" instead of "bull's eye!" What had he eaten? Hopefully it wasn't pureed e.coli spinach. That would be doubly awful.
Flippin' hilarious.
I would have died!!!
That is really gross! You poor thing. That being said, I'd still take the 10 month old vomit over the grown man poop anyday!! Yuck!
I just want to say the only thing comparable to the level of disgusting that that is is an animal pucking in your mouth...I mean I want to barf just reading about it...(note to self...do NOT hold baby over mouth after throwing him around and literally shaking him up to explode!) It's a lesson I am so thankful I don't have to experience to learn :)
stace
I hope my daughter never does that to me.
