Sitting-up baths

According to Mum, tonight's bath was my first real, proper bath.

Oh sure, I've had plenty of baths before.

Although...to be honest...I haven't really had that many.

Apparently, it's all a bit of a hassle to fill up the baby bath, one jug of water at a time, only to have to empty it again, one jug of water at a time.

So I've been a mostly showered baby for the past couple months.

But since I'm now sitting up by myself, Mum decided to try me in the little bath, which sits in the big bath. You can't do that with a lying-down-baby, by the way. Because your arms would fall off from the effort of leaning over the bath to keep the baby upright. But with a sitting-up-baby, all sorts of new possibilities present themselves. You're following this, right?

And so I sat up. By myself.

And I ran my fingers through the water, fascinated.

Until I discovered that I could splash.

And so I splashed and splashed happily until I'd become a wrinkly prune and Mum decided it was time to get out.

Roll on tomorrow night's bath, please!

Ladies who lunch

I lunched today.

Like a lady.

On Thursdays I hang out with Grandma while Mum goes to work and Noah goes to Pre-prep.

And today, we went to the shops to meet Grandma's friend Robyn for lunch.

Grandma's never taken me to the shops before, and she wasn't sure how I'd go.

After all, I haven't been terribly cooperative when she's tried to put me to bed lately.

But it turns out that all she needed to do was whisk me off to where the action is, let me settle in for a bit of people watching, and I'll be a happy camper!
