Wesley has taken to bathtime very well. He received a Firefighter Rubber Duck for Easter from his cousins, Logan and Hayden, which is now his favorite bath toy. We've been forced to graduate to the big tub a little faster than we would have liked. Wesley's baby tub has a seat on each end, one is supposed to be for really little babies and if you turn it the other direction/the other end is more for a toddler. The problem is he likes to brace his feet (remember he is 90% in height) against the opposite seat and arch his back to where he is almost standing in the tub! This is not conducive to getting a clean baby! So...I bought a sponge turtle that it very much meant for older kids who can sit-up and just goes underneath him in the tub. Wesley is sitting up but not without a little support and help which makes the new sponge a challenge. It was only difficult for a few minutes because we had to steady him while he was sitting. It got very easy when he decided to be a man of leisure and lay back on the cushion with his head supported by Mommy (only to keep the water out of his ears, otherwise I think he would've just laid all the way back!) Anyway, he seemed to enjoy the new bathing technique and we were fine with it but my arm did get a little tired! Don't let his grimaces fool you...he was smiling and splashing until we put the camera in front of him. 
We keep saying we hope he likes the big tub (pool) as much as his bath! Fingers crossed-pool should be opening in the next couple of weeks so we'll know for sure!
