Opportunistic Bärchen takes a bath in the big tub

Jakob's getting too big for his infant bathtub. He likes to splash now and makes a mighty mess. On the other hand, although he can sit up unsupported, he's not entirely steady, and he's very squirmy, all of which makes bathing him in a real bathtub a bit daunting.

The answer? Taking a bath with him.

This morning, I got in the tub and Werner handed Jakob in to me. He sure enjoyed the deeper water and had a good splash!

And - sneaky bear that he is - he suddenly squirmed around and helped himself to a snack.

Warm water and warm milk - how much better can it get for a 6 month old?
