Usually the combination of a toy and me singing will distract her, but not this time. She just wanted to turn over and pull up, so that's what she did. I finally just left her in the playpen, dirty diaper and all, for several minutes, then tried again and was able to at least get her in a clean diaper. But she's been a handful and a half lately.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yeah, happy, healthy baby!
Cold comfort, I'm sure, when you're trying to change her (or, like, SLEEP) but Susan, you are a GOOD parent. I've watched my friends do it, and damn, it's a goddamn lot of exhausting work. I respect that so much. I don't think I could do it.

Hil's suggestion is the one I've always used. (Nephew watch, and the boy did NOT like to be changed. Good times, good times. When he's in his teens, which is actually only about four years away, perhaps I shall remind him of this.)
Oh, and kitchen floors and other easy-to-clean surfaces are the way to go if you're going the floor way.

PLEI! You're up!
Tell me something dirty. I think smelling teenage pheremones all week had upped my libido or something. It's completely bizarre.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
They eventually figure out that diaper changing goes more quickly if they don't fight it. That hasn't stopped Frances from crying when she's being changed, but that's another thing.

Dude, I've been on pelvic rest since, like October! I've forgotten what dirty looks like. (And, yes, technically, I'm probably off it if I remember to ask, but as I have no really urge for The Sex right now, I haven't asked.)
Umm. Hmm. Dirty?
Lemme get back to you on that one.

I sure hope so.
Of course, right now it's not helping that every single member of this household has a bad cold. We're a cranktacular crew.

If my pelvis were stretching, I'd be off The Sex, too.
Actually, my pelvis is unstretched and off The Sex. I have no excuse. It's appalling.
Anyway, I'm after your mind, not your body.

You did see This! in Natter, right? Watch it long enough, and you start to feel German.

Ok, I just became a nun.
