Standing, cruising baby potty troubles

Hi,

Our baby is a week short of 10 months. Has been in cloth diapers the whole time and we do lazy EC, offer her potty in the morning, post meals and during diaper changes. Also when we see her strain. Typically we catch the poops but we don’t stress too much about the pees. We aren’t really sure of her peeing cues. She hates being put on her back now, rolls away etc. so we switched do standing diaper changes in front of a mirror.

We use tiny potty. She used to love to sit, we gave it to her since she started sitting with support around 4.5 - 5 months old. Since she started solids, her poops regulated and we almost always have caught her morning poop.

She used to like sitting on her potty but now she can’t wait to stand up. Sometimes she just will not bend to sit. Sometimes she sits (or we make her sit by making distracting her). She poops, but then stands up immediately. We are often ending up with a pee on the floor during her diaper change or the wipe after a poop. Once in a while she even ends up pooping on the floor while standing up though her potty is right there.

Does anyone have any tips to help us get her on her potty? Is she uncomfortable with the potty? Or we just wait out the standing novelty phase? If so, how long does this kind of a thing last? Idk, any info is appreciated!

Please help with accessories - option 1 or 2

The wedding is at a restaurant, evening/night, at the start of September. Cocktail dress code. It’s my brother in law’s wedding.
I got this mint dress. I haven’t ironed anything, sorta just threw them on to see. Which option would go? Pink or blue. Or any other suggestions?

I won’t be wearing the anklets btw

Please be kind, last time I posted here I got a lot of mean comments and I am still a little scared.

Is this cocktail?

I already have this dress. The midriff cutout isn’t too out there, is it? I am hoping to wear it for my brother in law’s wedding, early September. Dress code is cocktail. Is this appropriate? Any accessories suggestions??

Edit: Thanks for the responses. I will go shopping. I will still be nursing my baby at that point, so smocking, cotton and the length are helpful features. I already have this dress. But from the comments, it seems like it’s going to be too out of place. I will find something else.

Contact naps and feed to sleep after sleep training

I am curious what the consensus on this is. Does anyone ever feed to sleep contact naps or just holding contact naps post sleep training? I mean once baby is regularly doing independent naps. Do you do it just for rescuing a schedule? How does everyone feel about this? Do you feel like it confuses baby?
