.. is like wrestling with a monkey. I swear.. do you guys feel this way?!

Absolutely! Huggies is coming out with their "slip on" diapers on August 3rd though. I thought it was kind of silly until we got to this stage. I think I'm in for some.

OH YES...I have to hog tie his feet with my hand just to get his butt wiped!

Yep! We call it wrestling alligators. When DD squirms and rolls and kicks, I tell her we're not here to wrestle alligators.

In the words of my cousin, "It's like trying to put a turtleneck on Jell-o."

Yes, I feel like I've completed an Olympic game after changing a diaper. But, he does look cute when he rolls over and his bare butt is all I see.

Seriously, it's so frustrating these days!

If DH is home then he'll sing and play with his hands to keep DS occupied. But if it's just me at home then it's way too hard. He just immediately wants to flip over and crawl away. No amount of singing or toys distract him.

I'd like to know why the eff my LO is all over the place trying to roll and everything while I'm changing him, but whenever DH goes to change him he just lays there. Makes Mommy look like a lying fool....

Yes, it's definitely more of a challenge these days. He's usually good if I give him a toy to distract him. Even when he's out of the bath and I'm trying to dry him on the towel, he's trying to creep away.

Yes, it's a nightmare. I had to make Jack stand today during a poopy diaper change just so he wouldn't roll all over the place and make a huge mess.

Ir's ridiculous. I manage to keep her happy and on her back most times by giving her a burp cloth to chew on and/or blowing on her belly multiple times. Sometimes nothing works, though!

I am still giggling over the jello-turtleneck analogy...
