I read somewhere that dressing a baby is like trying to get an octopus into a bag.  I laughed, but didn’t really understand.  We have totally arrived at octopus wrestling on a daily basis.  As soon as you get EB laying flat on her back to change her diaper, she has flipped over and is crawling away.  You are thinking, “DUH!  Just hold her down – no big deal – she is a little baby!”  That is a great idea before a child has the ability to flip over, throw arms, kick legs, and contort their body into weird positions in the blink of an eye.  We won’t even talk about the death grip she has on whatever object I was using to try and distract her.  Said object is now a weapon of destruction as well as a hindrance to accomplishing the ultimate goal.  And that is just the diaper!  Add to that shirt, pants, sweater, socks, shoes and hair bow and by the time EB looks like the cute little girl we all know and love, I am exhausted before the day has begun.

 

All this is to say…expect more naked baby pictures.
