You can take the baby out of the routine, but you can't take the routine out of the baby!

Whoever invented this wonderfully nifty little contraption deserves a gold star! Jacie has to have her routine at night or else she won't go to bed. Usually Ryan will shower with her and then I get her dressed and fed and off to sleep. But sometimes it just isn't possible for Ryan to be home, and I have to take care of it. She is getting too big for the infant tub, plus, she really doesn't like it. I thought for sure that if we could get her into the tub sitting up, she would enjoy the splashing and playing. Sure enough, she enjoyed splashing the water all around and grabbing her toys. It takes longer to get her down at night now, but its worth it since she enjoys the bath now. I think that some fun and interesting bath toys will be on the Christmas list this year.
The red on her belly is from leaning against the front of the chair so much. I didn't put enough water in the tub and she was having to strain to get to the water to splash. Oh, the lessons we learn...

That is a nifty contraption... Amelia hated the infant tub too. She hated baths until she could sit up on her own. I might consider getting one of those dealios for Eliza when she gets to be a little less little.
