He moves and wiggles all over the place when I try and change his diaper or putting clothes on him, He would much rather roll away form me. Is their anyway I can get him to stop? If we didn't have the battle everyday it wouldn't take as long to get him ready. Just wondering if their is a trick to this :) Thats all.

My 4 month old daughter is on her way to a full blown "wiggle" when I change her diaper too. She started this new FUN thing where she flaps her arm up and down and slaps you the entire time you are trying to chang her, lol, it's SO much fun. Some changing tables come with straps that you can secure to the change table and snap together around your baby to keep him from falling off of the table, but he will still be able to wiggle a lot underneath them. Maybe a toy or a blanket layed across his chest will distract him long enough to let you get through the diaper change. When my daughter was younger she would scream when we laid her down to change her, so we would lay a receiving blanket across her chest, it seemed to calm her down. Good luck :)

Definitely give him a toy while you're changing him... you might even have to rotate toys during a changing session.
Give him a kiss and blow air in his face, tickle him, make funny faces and sounds...
Also, we give him things to play with that we normally wouldn't... (this is not necessarily good - but it works.) Baby wipes, his shoes, an unplug night light, a bottle of tylenol...

I think most kids do this. I know both of mine did. We would try to give them something, and if need be just hold them down and be quick!
