Oh the messes a baby can make! Some of the funniest memories I have with Marc in Eli's first few months involve cleaning up all those baby messes. I remember when he pooped in the bathtub for the first time, sprayed the wall by the changing table with pee, and squirted poop 3 feet away from his changing table to the opposite wall when Marc lifted up his legs during a diaper change. Oh the laughs we had! The joys of parenting. :) Lately, Eli has been a wiggle worm with his diaper changes. He tries to flip over and crawl away. He also puts his hands everywhere which is such a problem with the messy diapers. I have come to learn you can either hold both his feet or both his hands by yourself, but not both. Today I was holding his feet and cleaning him up and putting the dirty wipes in the diaper by his feet. Then, all of a sudden Eli started reaching for his diaper. I had his feet with one hand and a wipe with the other hand and I couldn't act quick enough. At that point everything went into slow motion as Eli grabbed a handful of poopy wipes and smeared them all over the wall beside him and I began frantically yelling NO still without a free hand. Gross. Gross. Gross. Too bad daddy wasn't home to help out with that one. :) I eventually got things sanitized, cleaned, and then re-sanitized and went in to fix Eli's lunch. The pictures below clearly show that today was just meant to be a day of messes. Beef raviolli with spaghetti sauce may not be on the menu for a while. Ha! :) He is such a cutie pie even when he is messy. I think he has figured out that if he makes a big enough mess during his meals that we take him straight to the bath tub!

And this was after clean-up #2!
Eli and I went to Babies R Us this afternoon to stock up on what else, diapers and wipes. We also spent some time in the toy aisle checking out some of the "big boy" toys for his upcoming birthday. He liked this Little Tykes piano a lot. It was really loud and most of the people in the store were staring at us, but Eli was sure having fun!
Well, we hope everyone has a great weekend. Hopefully, you all are enjoying the first signs of spring like we are with 70 degree weather! Aaahh!
Dear Eli:
ReplyDeleteIsn't food great! Looks like you are really enjoying yourself.
I especially love your picture at the toy store. What a cute boy! Shall I open up an account for you there?
Your mommy takes you to so many places and we just love to see where you have been.
Thank you mommy!
Love,
Mama Reenie
