First Bath with Brother

I thought it was time to try putting the kiddos in the bath tub together. Summer suggested using the Bumbo seat since she did that with her kids. And, yes, I did read the sticker on the back that says "not for use in bath tub". It seemed like a good idea but it didn't work out too well. I pushed the seat down to suction it to the tub but every few seconds it would pop up and slowly try to fall over. I don't know if I had too much water in it or if Caleb was just too wiggly. I'll have to try it again with less water. Summer said she never had an issue with it falling. Anyway, they boys had a great time together. So great that after I had Caleb out and dressed I realized that I never actually washed Ethan with soap! So, I had to go back in for a quick scrub down.


Caleb's hair is a little too thin for a mohawk but I managed a little baby one.


Spontaneous kiss from big brother.

His face was so cute when I first put him in and he realized he was sitting up just like his big brother. Look at those fat rolls!

Ethan like to rinse his own hair now.


And he thought he'd rinse Caleb's too.

This was right after...and he's about to get it again!

All clean!

Very cute pictures! Hopefully less water in the tub will work because he looked like he was really enjoying bath time with Ethan!

I loved using the bumbo seat with Anna. It was so much easier than using the baby bath tub. Our floated too. I got to where I would sit with my feet in the tub to hold it down. It would stay suctioned to the tub for a few minutes and then the whole seat and baby would start floating around. It will get easier when he can sit up. Then you can get one of those rings that is meant for the tub.
They are adorable.
