Then we went downstairs because I realized _I_ was cranky, because I didn't really eat enough lunch. So I finished off my mac and cheese and let her run around in the walker a bit. When she got tired of that I pulled her out and could tell she was poopy...and she was leaking thru the side again. (grrr, dunno what's up with this new trend, maybe the walking/crawling is stretching the diaper differently?) Anyways, I took her upstairs and put her on the changing table and she immediately started to fuss and wiggle. I told her she needed to hold very still so I could change her. I got the diaper off and had her messy bottom dangling and she started to wiggle (the onesie was a goner already so I wasn't too concerned about it really, but didn't feel like changing every linen in the bedroom) then she flat out rolled over while I was attempting to keep her suspended by one leg. So I told her to STOP. Then I told her wiggly babies have cold showers and flipped her back over. She thought it was funny when I told her firmly to stop. She rolled over again, still giggling, so I picked her up (dirty onesie and all) and headed for the shower. I turned it about to where it should be, and went ahead and hosed her back off while it was still cold. She didn't care for that one bit!! I told her over and over it's the only way to get clean if you won't hold still in the changing table. Of course, I moved the water away and got it adjusted appropriately and then finished the impromptu shower and got her dressed and everything afterwards, and she was fairly calm after that. Now she's in her crib, supposed to be napping (I actually thought she was) but now I hear her chattering away in there.

Cute and Cranky...
So the cute first: This afternoon, I took Ru upstairs and stood her in her crib. She's really enjoying her crib right now. Not for sleep (of course!) but she's discovered she can hold on to one side, stretch out towards the other, then....LET GO! and take a step or two and grab the other side without falling! So she was bouncing from one side to the other all over the place practicing her walking skills.
Then we went downstairs because I realized _I_ was cranky, because I didn't really eat enough lunch. So I finished off my mac and cheese and let her run around in the walker a bit. When she got tired of that I pulled her out and could tell she was poopy...and she was leaking thru the side again.

BTW, I DID take pics of her in the crib, altho you can't really tell what she's doing. But I can't post them, because (of course) I left the camera in Ru's room. I actually wrote that post around 2:30, I went in and gave her some tylenol and a new bottle and she went to sleep about 15 minutes later, and has been sleeping ever since...
