We Love Bath Time

My own mom giving me a bath circa 1974. Note dated "Desitin" baby wash. Also note that no unnecessary cash was spent on a specially-made tub that fits over a sink (although I really liked our first infant bathtub, because clearly I would have to scrub, disinfect, de-germ, etc. our kitchen sink in order to bathe Drew in it).


And little Drew a few months ago in his bath:


And Drew's new bathtub. Yes, embarrassingly I have spent more money on another bathtub. But if I had seen this one in the first place, maybe I wouldn't have gotten the first one...which I really did like. I think this is a new model, invented since my baby showers :) It is supposedly molded to be used one way from 0 - 6 months and then like Drew is using it now, it supposed to go to 24 months. I am skeptical that he will fit in it when he is two years old, but what do I know? I can only tell you about 0 - 11 months so far! I felt like he was outgrowing his other tub, and since we shower where Drew bathes, well I cannot bring myself to sit Drew where we put our dirty feet...I'm a bit of a germ freak--and also, who wants to scrub out the tub before every single baby bath? So this tub is big and deep and it was a nice upgrade.


Did I mention that I love these tub toys? This is one thing that I did purposely register for and I'm so glad I did! Love the frog on the wall, love that it holds all his bath shapes (because prior to the frog we had been carting other bath toys back and forth from his room to the tub every bath time). Also--love the shapes and colors and the fact that they stick to the wall.

Cute! You crack me up! Porter has always just gone right in the tub! We were given two different baby bath tubs- no, wait three! One is a duck...anyway, we never used them. I don't know why, we're probably lazy. I bathw with him a lot and now he wiggles all over the tub, standing up and down, sticking toys on the bathtub wall. Isn't funny how people do different things?
Your baby pic looks a lot like Drew!!!

That IS funny! I know I'm a bit of a germ freak. We have a second b-room, but only with a shower. If we had a second tub, I would use it to bathe Drew and NOT take showers. Then life would be a little easier :) I thought that my baby pic looked like Drew, too!
