Over the past few weeks Anna has become less and less interested in laying still while she gets her clothes and diaper changed. When we were in Albany at Christmas I kinda thought it was because she was laying in the middle of a big bed and she was interested in exploring. However, in the past week it's gotten worse. At this point if Matt & I are both home we always change her diaper together - one person to entertain and one person to change. A few times while Matt was working this week I had to just skip her before nap diaper change because she was so difficult before it even started. Now if her diaper is just wet, I don't feel too bad about this, but if her diaper is more than wet that's when the real trouble starts. I would say 3 or 4 times in the past week Anna has flipped over to her stomach while her butt is covered in poop, which really makes things interesting. Like this morning. Anna woke up and I went to change her. Right as I got her diaper off and went for the first wipe she did the flip over. I picked her up quick, bare, poopy butt in the air, and with no where to put her, we woke Dad up from a deep sleep to come wipe the butt...sorry Dad!
Matt & I have tried to teach Anna appropriate changing table behavior. This is pretty funny. As soon as she does the flip one of us picks her up looks at her face and firmly explains that she needs to lay on her back while she gets her diaper changed. This apparently, is hilarious, because it always makes her burst into laughter.
Hopefully this is a phase. If not hopefully Mom & Dad will gain some new skills - fast!
