Bathtime

At six weeks old, Toby isn't sure how he feels about taking baths, but he loves his duck towel (and I love him in it). His other favorite things include foot massages, striped pillows and the British National Anthem.

  56. Awe so precious!!!!! He is just beautiful!!

    I used to take baths with my daughters when they were still a baby - I ran some warm water and put towel on my lap and laid them on it face to face. Making funny faces and they went goo goo ga ga.. Good times, good times.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Well, he is just too cute & it should be illegal. I see he already has been yellow-carded, so Red card!

    Feeling a tad tetchy about the English national anthem. But seeing as how Master Toby has some English blood in him (as well as Welsh), I'll let it pass. This time:) I'd like read someday that he is learning the Welsh songs I sang every St. David's Day in Pittsburgh. Yep. Well, the lad has time.

  58. Joanna: would you consider doing a brief pregnancy survival guide post? Just some advice about things that helped you out during yours. You know, for the ladies like me who might be getting pregnant in the next couple of months and have mostly childless friends. If so, that would be awesome. And thanks in advance.

  94. Ahhh!! So cute, Jo! I just popped over to see how you were doing. I'm so impressed with how quickly you've bounced back into the swing of things. Devon was NOT a fan of bath time until maybe 3 months, and now she loves it. I think her frog towel definitely helped.

    My mother tells me that if a baby doesn't like a bath, you should wet a towel and put that on the bottom of the tub. That way they feel a surface and that makes them more comfortable. Maybe it'll help.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Oh, this makes me miss when my little guy was tiny! They're just so precious at that age! Of course, my three year old is still precious, just in a hyper kind of way...

    ReplyDelete

  120. "haha, chris, i sing it to him! my family is british, so i know a bunch of the verses. he loves it and stares right at me when i'm singing it. :)"

    Joanna,

    Haha, that's great! He must be infatuated with his mother's voice. It makes a lot more sense that you'd be singing it to him, being british, rather then just playing the full orchestral version to him as I first imagined it. lol :P
