Hey Bec! We have the exact same problem with change time. DS just flips over 99% of the time. It freaks me out, because even when he's strapped down he can still fall. He grabs everything out of the side compartments and throws it around so I shifted it all. Very annoying. If I change him on the floor, or if DP is putting his night nappy on after a bath, it usually takes one of us to distract and restrain him and/or sit on him!! It's a constant battle, and he gets SOOO cranky and fights me when I try and turn him over and finish putting his nappy on. Number one reason why I don't use nappy pins!! Ouch!
Aadi always says DaDaDa for everything. It's actually getting a bit annoying. He also says mamamam a lot, and yesterday he was saying mamamamama for about 5 minutes (seriously, non-stop!) so I pointed to a picture of me and said, "mama" and he stopped, looked at it carefully and said "DaDa!". Grrrrr!!!
I had to tell DP to stop saying "attend! attend!" (french for "wait", pronounced ah-ton) because he was repeating it constantly to Aadi, who was copying him and saying adda adda! Now DP's always saying "azzar" which is arabic for cheeky, and it's the same thing! Adda adda adda all day. I say "potty", he says "adda"!! cuckoo.

I had a few hours in the house to myself today too. Felt so strange. But I did the same thing, turned the music up loud and cooked and cleaned and did so much stuff that I'd been meaning to do all week. DP took Aadi to a soccer game - his first! A friend of ours was there with her son who's the same age as Aadi too. Her husband is a professional soccer player and was playing today, so they had company.

Wooo! 10 months today! I don't know if it's because Aadi's teething and a bit snotty, but he slept 2 hours today! In one go! That hasn't happened since... I can't remember... And he slept 7pm to 6am with only 2 wake-ups. Please, let this be the start of things getting better! I'm gonna collapse in a shriveled heap otherwise.
