Drive By Diapering

|
My child is on the move. This means the changing table is out since he tries to stand up on it while getting his diaper changed.

We change him now on the floor in his room. To say this is a challenge is an understatement.

Frequently, when MacDad is in charge of changing and I'm in our bedroom, adjacent to MacBaby's room, I'll see a streaking baby crawling across the floor. Yesterday, MacDad was charged with changing MacBaby's diaper while I did dishes after lunch. I heard yelling and came upstairs to see a screeching baby standing on his box of diapers and pounding on it, with his diaper half assembled and hanging off his butt. The proud parents just stood there laughing.

Just lying on the floor while we change his diaper, apparently, is not high on MacBaby's priority list.

Any suggestions to make the process more seamless? Or do we just continue to chase after him and pin him down to fasten the diaper?

On the plus side, MacBaby's cruising is proving to be good for my waist line.

Our little guy is less happy with the changing table these days too - although somehow he still lets us change him there. To keep his wiggling to a minimum, whether on the table or elsewhere, I give him a "toy" that he can only play with while being changed. Lately that toy is an extra set of car keys (cleaned, of course). They seems to hold his interest long enough to change him. For now.
