"Do you sometimes feel a little wet and uncomfortable?...I do."Why do diapers hate me? The last two nights Natalie's diapers have leaked, resulting in a wet and very unhappy baby at 3 or 4 in the morning and, coincidentally, a dry but very unhappy daddy shortly thereafter.
The biggest issue is that by the time I change her clothes and get a new, equally evil, diaper on, she's so grumpy that it takes thirty minutes just to get her to calm down, let alone go back to sleep.
So Sara and I are considering some of the cloth hybrids that have recently hit the market. If the diapers are going to leak and be a pain, at least we might be less intrusive on mother nature. stay tuned for exciting cloth diaper updates in the coming weeks...(yeah, I just wrote that sentence)
In non-diaper related news, Natalie learned another new trick, this time all on her own. She discovered that her tiny little finger fits in her tiny little nose. It was quite exciting for about a half hour yesterday but she seems to have forgotten her new ability, which is just as well since we have company this weekend and she needs to be reciting the alphabet and playing the piano and doing other super-smart baby things...not showing our friends her boogers.
In more developmental news, after days of experimenting Natalie managed to pull herself up to standing without aide. She used the nearby laundry basket and wobbled on up. Sara managed to catch her before her triumph resulted in a topple and tears. This is further evidence that Natalie is well on her way to being the toughest and awesomest baby ever. As if she wasn't already there.
In related news, I am preparing for her eventual mobility by running laps around the house.
In Political news, Natalie was originally pretty excited for Hillary's gas relief proposal but upon learning that it was a pandering pile of garbage and not a way to end uncomfortable gas, she changed her mind.
In sports news, Natalie doesn't like the Atlanta Hawks. They are mean and scary looking. Except for Josh Childress who, according to Natalie, has the best 'fro in the NBA.
Finally, in completely non-related to anything news, Natalie is glad she doesn't live in Brazil...

It could be worse -- about every third or fourth time I change my one-week-old he uses either my face or my shirt for target practice...which is actually quite a feat of skill, since I generally try to cover him with a wipe which he has to squirm around before letting fly! This generally results in a happy and dry baby, a somewhat wet and unhappy daddy, and a mommy who manages to coincidentally wake up just soon enough to watch the show and then proceed to laugh hysterically for several minutes. The only good thing is that using cloth diapers means that there are a plethora of wipe-up rag-like items in easy reach...
