My Child the Nudist

So...Charlotte has lost all interest in anything related to her diaper or her clothing, especially her pajamas. I've long since started changing her on the floor, because she's way too squirmy for her changing table (and, ok, I usually pile so much crap on there she won't fit), but now it's going beyond squirmy. She'll lie down for me to take OFF her diaper, but when I out the new one down she rolls away as fast as she can. I roll her back onto the diaper, she rolls off. I need an extra set of hands. Finally I'll get her on there long enough to fasten one of the tabs, and off she rolls again, half in, half out. I roll her back, yet again, and get the other tab fastened and off she goes, looking like she has a parent who doesn't know how the hell to put a diaper on a baby.

Then it's time for her clothing, which is an entirely different story entirely. Regular clothes are ok, but pajamas? Most baby jammies have 3 snaps on each leg, then a series of snaps up the front. This has never presented a problem before, but now Miss Thing is too busy rolling all over her room to do something as silly as lie still long enough for Mommy to snap all those fussy little snaps. Whoever invented zippered baby pajamas deserves a medal. Sometimes I'll get her arms in, and off she rolls, jammies flapping behind her like a Superman cape. Sometimes I'll get her feet in, and off she rolls...so I roll her back, get one snap done...and off she rolls. Rinse and repeat, like 7 times.

I can't even imagine what it's going to be like when she actually starts crawling! Which, by the way, she'll be doing super soon. Her latest mode of transportation is to lie on her stomach and push her butt waaaay up in the air, then shove off with her feet. Her chest is still on the ground, so she ends up looking like a rather comical inchworm. When she tries to add her arms into the equation, it usually results in backwards movement, which is not the desired result. Then she gets mad and gives me the Evil Moo Stare. It's formidable, let me tell you.

In other news...the toof is coming! Well...teef, actually. I've been trying for like a week to get a picture, but she is not at all interested in accomodating me in that area, so no pictures as yet. It looks like the tooth is breaking through, but I can't feel it yet...but I see it! So it's coming!
