Steve had his first real tub bath last night. He tolerated it much better than the first tub bath where we had him in the little newborn sling attachment. It's supposed to make newborns feel more supported and secure, but the problem is that they aren't submerged in the water at all, so I think he just got cold and cranky. Being in the warm water last night seemed to agree with him more. Coincidentally I snapped these photos when Daddy's arms and hands were strategically placed, so he won't have to worry about blackmail pictures on prom night.
And here are just a couple more pictures I liked...

What a cute, sweet baby!!! We love him already.
He's so cute!! For bath time, I found that using a "tubby towel" helped tremendously. It's just a towel you wet in warm water and drape over his body to keep him warm. They make towels for this purpose, but any hand towel would work. The second I put one on David at that age, he would immediately stop crying and really enjoy the bath. You might want to try that with the sling.

I felt much more secure with David in the sling--at least when I was bathing him by myself.
