Bathtime with a newborn can sometimes be quite difficult and is ever changing. When they're teeny tiny and brand new you have to be extra careful not to submerge their umbilical cord in water leading to sponge baths. When they get a little older and have more neck support you can try bathing them in plastic tubs. My favorite and effortless way of bathing Grant so far has been to lay down his sponge in the tub and fill the tub with water. This way he can kick and splash all the while stretching out. My neighbor recently filled me in on the newest trend out there: the Washpod. Her baby is three weeks and too small for it so she let Grant and I give it a go. The result? I'm personally not a huge fan. You have to take extra care to hold the baby up because at one point Grant slipped off the little seat on the bottom and was completely submerged in the water. He didn't miss a beat though and kept on splashing! It was also hard to wash his little legs and bottom working with such a narrow space, I had to stand him up to scrub him down. The washpod did make for some extra cute pics. Thanks Laurie for letting us try out this new trend!
Mom, I'm not sure about this!
Look at those cute little legs at the bottom!
He still loves those fingers!
After he completely went under water, he didn't miss a beat!
This little piggy went to the market, this little piggy took a bath...
Squeaky clean

So cute! Yeah...that thing looks cool, but could be tricky! Matylda loves bathtime so much! shes old enough that we have ditched the baby tub and she sits in the regular tub. She is like a fish!
