When a Diaper Change Goes Terribly Wrong

There are lessons that each new mother learns, such as a baby has no concept of night or day, if you are breastfeeding your baby eats what you eat, and then the special lesson that only a new mother of a little boy can appreciate: when changing a diaper it is best to keep things covered as much as possible.

Yesterday Cayden got to take his first trip to Downtown Memphis while giving Grandpa and Grandma Blair a tour. Of course Cayden didn't see much as he was asleep most of the way, except for on the way home. He made his presence known, and I had the joy of changing my first diaper in the car. Things were going
great until I opened the diaper and saw that it was not just wet, but the joy didn't stop there. As I was cleaning him off, all of the sudden a stream of urine shot onto Cayden's face, past his head onto the meticulously clean dashboard of Rand's Explorer, and down my leg! Yeah, that was a fun lesson to learn.

In other fun lessons, it turns out that babies go through A LOT of diapers. I think I should have gotten a job with pampers for a while! Oh well, at least they look cute while you are changing them!

Seems like you two are in the full swing of parenthood! Randy and I have been inspired by your webpages and have tried setting up a little something to share with friends and family too. You can tell we have a lot to learn still. Congratulations on Cayden! He is absolutely adorable. Our fridge is proudly displaying our newest nephew's photo. Can't wait to see you at Christmas! -Chanc
