Quinlan still LOVES his bath time, and can be in the bath for up to 30 minutes. It is a regular part of his bed time routine: dinner, bath, changed, and then bed. He has graduated to a larger inflatable tub that is supposed to transition him to the big tub eventually. We like the smaller tub as it uses less water and provides some cushion from the hard ceramic sides of the tub.
He still experiments with movement in the tub, which is fun to watch. In fact, the first place he sat up by himself was in the tub and now he is practicing sitting with his legs straight.
Typically bath time is bonding time with daddy as mom has to work late 3 nights a week and our little man is sound asleep by the time she gets home.
Daddy has taught him how to splash vigorously sending water all over him and us. Quinlan enjoys this thoroughly. He also loves his floating toys that squirt water when you squeeze them. Of course he tends to squeeze them into his mouth.
The water bottle was a neat trick that dad started. Turns out Quinlan will drink less bath water if you give him his own water bottle to suck on. This does however lead to a belly full of water at night and very wet diapers in the morning!
But just look at how happy he is.
