Tub buddies

I saw a clever idea on my friend Jen's blog a while back and decided put it to good use. Last night when Snacks wasn't due to go to bed until 8 due a mandatory late nap (due to fussiness [due to another ear infection]), we decided to throw him into the tub with D. D absolutely loved it. He thought it was the greatest thing that had ever happened. Snacks loved it too. He was splashing himself in the face the entire time. It took so long to get any pictures of him even looking in the general vicinity of the camera because he was so focused on splashing and he would not be disrupted. My only question (for Jen) about the Bumbo in the tub, is how do you keep it from floating around?? We tried to suction it to the bottom, but it only worked for a few seconds. Maybe we just need a chubbier baby??

Here was one of our semi-successful attempts to get Snacks to look at the camera - luring him with forbidden (aka brother's) toys. (It worked for like three seconds.)

Seriously, D was loving every minute.

At one point, D had a hold of Snacks' toes and was "cleaning out the toe jam" using a Dixie cup (which was also used to give Snacks a makeshift shower later).

Finally! Snacks in all of his Bumbo tub glory!
