When we first brought him home we gave him his baths holding him over the bathroom sink. Once his umbilical stump fell off he sat in a hammock in his tub on the counter.
At about 3 months the hammock came out and he sat in the tub on the counter. But around 4 months he was splashing too much so we put the baby tub in the big tub.
At about 5 months Aaron decided that there was no reason to SIT in the tub when more fun could be had while STANDING. My back did not appreciate this decision.
And so for about 5 months now I have had much back pain and much Tylenol.
And Aaron has had much fun.
He can even make the water go through the tub faucet or the shower head. And back again. And back again. And back again.
But when Aaron started climbing out of the baby tub and getting wedged between it and the big tub I said, "enough". And we bought a skid mat.
Now Aaron has much MORE fun.
I have less back pain and less Tylenol.
But he still prefers to stand.
I love bath pictures! Luckily Cameron never really stood up in the bath. He likes to lie on his tummy & pretend he's swimming. Aaron is just adorable!
