He hasn't had anything new to eat, so my first suspicion about food causing his diarrhea is sort of out the window. Then I thought he may have caught some sort of stomach bug, but he has never had a fever or any other symptoms. He's actually been in a pretty great mood, not really fussy.
So I'm a bit puzzled. The only other odd thing is that it currently takes him FOREVER to finish a bottle. Normally he has that thing empty in a couple shakes of a lamb's tail. But now he is all wiggly, squirmy, and even chews on the nipple more than sucking.
My last hypothesis is that he has teething diarrhea. But the actual existence of this phenomenon depends on what doctor you ask. Some say teething can cause diarrhea due to the excess saliva. Some say the two are totally unrelated.
All I know is that I have a Maverick that looks like this by the end of the night, and by morning he's gone through at least one crib sheet and a couple onesies.
Second night in a row that he falls totally asleep before getting him into his pajamas. I can change his clothes and diaper, and he still doesn't wake up!
Are there teeth in our immediate future?

I presume you already know the BRAT recipe for diarrhea - bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. Mush bananas - get some boil in a bag rice and put it in the blender, applesauce - not real apples - for some reason apples make them go and the applesauce helps stop 'em up. He would probably enjoy gnawing on one of those hard toasty things. . . . . .
Facebook indicates you were going to start some juice - that could be it, as well. Also, Apple Juice also can cause the runs. Comes in very handy when you have any constipation problems in the future.
Yeah, we didn't do the apple juice cause even though it is 100% juice, it's still sugar and that can make it worse like you said. We are doing the BRAT diet, and as of this evening his last couple of poos have been solid! Woo hoo!
Again, the things that one talks about after having a kid! lol!
