Static (Baby) Cling

This last week has been kind of rough. Aidan is still teething, this time on the top...as I mentioned in my post awhile ago, I really empathise with him, but mother of God is he cranky. Like, super DMV cranky. To compliment this, he is becoming very clingy. He really wants to have either myself or his mother with him as much as possible. While this is cute, it is incredibly tiring. When we put him down, he whines until we get out of grabbing range, and then he plays like a good boy until we come back or he gets bored. But when we're IN grabbing range....well, he is constantly trying to climb us. He's figuring out that he can pull himself up on things, and he wants to stand constantly. Again, this is really incredibly tiring. It's a good thing he looks so cute doing it, or I would have gone insane.

Another new trick he has is what I like to call "The Fish Flop Diaper Devil." He's always been pretty good about letting us change him, but lately he wants nothing to do with it. As soon as his diaper is off, he's trying to roll away, into some form of mortal peril or other. It's like wrestling a weeble wobble... he just keeps squirming and rolling, naked little but flopping across the carpet. Usually he's trying to get at my video game controllers so he can wrap the cords around his neck and scare the holy hell out of me. It probably takes 3 times as long to change him now as it used to due to all his flailing.

I just can't WAIT until he can walk, meaning he can actually run from me when I try to change him. Oh, what fun we'll have as I chase his pantless butt around the house.
