Eight months old and he finally signaled a poop.

Thread Starter 
So I'm sure DS has been signaling his whole life, but I have never been able to read them at all b/c they are so subtle. I mean, even when watching him, maybe he moved his little toe a slightly different way or something, lol. Nothing nice and obvious, for either pees or poops.

But today, he was hanging out on the floor. He has limited mobility so far (mostly rolling but occasionally kicking around and pushing himself backwards). He was on his tummy and he was pushing himself slightly backwards, and also was grunting a little bit. I thought it was from the effort of moving himself. Then after several grunts, I heard a poop. I rushed him to the bathroom and took off his diaper, and it was dirty, but only a little bit. So I put him on the potty and he finished pooping on the potty after about 10 seconds.
