Wait til the kiddo has his first blowout!  Ian will be wishing it was just fumes!

Yep.

Get scissors and cut that onesie off

Try a wrap or sling for holding baby in a nice comfy ergonomic position for both of you.

And instead of walking around with baby, you could try bouncing on a yoga ball.  Will probably help your back and quite soothing for baby.

Already have both!

Yeah, he likes a little bounce bounce wiggle wiggle - though at times, probably like any baby it's not enough. Still the nuclear option is a good wrap (which can be a 2 on 1 match) and some time curled up with me. He's decided that a pacifier is not the debil mostly - which is nice as I was starting to get numbness in my pinky and ring finger from the extended time, tight bend of my elbow.

He's still small enough that he needs solid neck support, so the sling is good, but still needs a hand to mind the head, just in case.

+1 to all that

2 years old is really tough. You think diaper changes are hard now? Wait until they have enough strength in those legs to land a deadly blow to the chin. If it isn't the legs going crazy, my son utilizes every stall tactic he knows. If I let him go without the diaper, he bleeds the lizard all over the floor 

Approaching 2 very soon. This ^ started a few months back. The boy has got some quads from his side of the family and also loves to kick things..typically it's mom's face. Why don't these kids like fresh pants?!

You could ask him?
