Ok, it's beyond calf roping now. We're more into wrestling-hold territory. Bec hasn't had to yet, but even she's dreading changing a full-on poopy diaper solo now. And that's at home let alone out and about. Upon being put on the change table, he immediately does a quick spin/roll to get onto his belly. With one of us to pin his shoulders and the other to pick up his feet we can usually get a poopy diaper off without spraying it around the room and everybody. He's constantly twisting and turning while looking at everything while holding onto something while grabbing for something else while kicking his feet while whacking the wall with whatever's in his hand. Mayhem.
He's pretty cute though. And interested in everything. That is a good thing most of the time currently, which may downgrade to some of the time when he officially achieves mobility. I'll try to focus on the upside.
Bec commented that we didn't properly appreciate the inanimate blob months when we were in them.

FYI - the cover story for the October 2008 issue of Popular Mechanics is "100 skills every man should know (brains and charm are fine, but a real guy needs to know how to do real stuff)". #43 - Change a diaper (!)
The description/directions for said activity seem so benign in comparison to yours. A contrast, perhaps, between the "in theory" and the "in reality" - probably because they don't want to scare off any readers from future fatherhood.
Good luck with your little steer. ;-)
