Changing my baby has become a wrestling match. What can I do?

Elsku litla Eva mín (My dearest little Eva)

Viltu ekki slaka aðeins á (won´t you relax a bit)

Slaka aðeins á (relax a bit)

Nei elsku mamma (no dear mommy)

Það er svo margt að sjá (there´s so much to see)

Mér liggur svo á (I´m in such a hurry)

I was putting Eva Lind´s diaper on and came up with this little rhyme and I made a little song out of it - of course I forgot now how the song goes but at least I remembered the lyrics! (is an onset of Alzheimer common after childbirth? hihi)

It really has become somewhat of a wrestling match changing diapers now. 

Here´s how the match usually goes: 

Taking the diaper off: Ok

Wiping: Starting to lose patience.. Lets go off the toy I carefully picked to distract her. 

Putting the cream on: "Is that really necessary mommy?? I´d rather be rolling over" (and there she goes - well or tries!) 

Putting a clean diaper on: "ADIOS" 

BEEP BEEP!

Me in a hurry?? Nahhhh

I'm getting pretty good at putting a diaper on my semi rolled over/half sitting up/in a bridge/lifting butt up towards the ceiling/lying on back/standing little energizing bunny - WITH Filipe´s help!!   hahaha 

So what did this first time mommy do? I Googled this of course and I found that yes, this is in fact a common problem (surprised? not really!) and other parents are sharing their advice/tips on how to deal with this.

Some advices were good. Like giving her a toy that she doesn't get to play with often which will surely keep her interested and busy.

In Eva Lind's case holding a diaper worked wonders! For about 1 minute hahaha

When it got to putting  the diaper on (a different one of course) she starting rolling around HOLDING the diaper I gave her  :) She cracks me up so much this little one! 

Other advices were not as good in my opinion like giving her my cell phone to play with or the TV remote control! No way! She'd probably throw my phone on the floor before I could reach for the wipes, or even out the window like she almost did with her toys a couple of times!  I´m not very keen on making her think that electronic devices are ok for her to play with! (boring mommy!)

Has anyone here dealt with this problem? What did you do? 

That was then ;) 

Ahh this picture is such a good memory. She would just lie still and things were so easy :)
Here she´s looking peacefully at a crystal bird her great grandmother Kristín gave to me.  

Notice the window next to the changing table. I don´t open the side closer to the table but the other side, and yes, she nearly threw a toy out that window, twice! 

Well, that´s it for now!  I hope you enjoyed this post!
