"Real" Bath Time

Fully healed umbilical cord = fully submerged bath time! I freaked out when I went to get James ready for a bath last week and found his cord had fallen off - I screamed and ran to the other couch and made Jim go get it and throw it away like it was a spider or something (which is funny for two reasons: 1) Jim sometimes makes me squish the Charlotte's in our house when they're too big and 2) all pregnancy Jim was the squeamish one about the cord and I was all "ah, it's nothing" and when the thing fell off, the roles totally flipped). I'm pretty sure this picture is well-edited for public viewing and we kept his goodies hidden (which has already been a discussion him and I have had numerous times). You can't tell from this snapshot, but James actually really liked getting a bath in his tub! Our kitchen sink is a pain in the booty to give one in (I would love to remodel if someone else wants to pay for it) but it seemed to work out OK and served its purpose. Daddy gave the bath, Mommy was the photographer that stayed far away ;-) I hope him liking the bath translates to him liking the pool when he gets older!
