Tyler's Protest To The Carseat and Changing That Diaper

I think because Tyler is moving around more and exploring, he does not like to be restrained. I am really struggling with him to get him in his carseat and to get a new diaper on. When we go places and I know I am about to put him in his carseat, I have to prepare myself because I know he is going to squirm. He wiggles and whines, but once I have him strapped in and we are moving he is usually fine. It is just the initial getting him in. If he were not so heavy, I would continue to carry him in his carrier everywhere. We all know that that does not work once they get past a certain weight. Plus, he is about to grow out of his original carrier. It only carries up to 22 pounds and Tyler is now 20 lbs. 12 oz. We just bought a new car seat that we will start using pretty soon here and that one you cannot carry him around in.

Diaper changing is another fun adventure every time I have to change him. As soon as I take his old diaper off, he is off and running like the horses at the races. Once the gate opens, he is gone, crawling around naked. I get him back but then he just squirms and twists and makes it REAL easy to change his diaper.

I am wondering how long this "wiggle-worm" stage will last...
