Splish, Splash..

Eli has once again graduated to a new bathtub. Since he had his casts on for the first nine weeks, he was only allowed sponge baths, modified slightly. Then when the casts came off, we used an infant tub, but only for a week or so, as Eli was too big for it. Since then, he's bathed in our big bathtub with one of us in there with him. Now that Eli is a professional sitter-upper-by-himself (yes, those are real words), I figured it was time to move him to his own bath (previously the guest bathtub). Tonight was his maiden voyage. The new bathmat on the bottom of the tub was the main point of interest for Eli, but the whole experience in general seemed to leave him wide-eyed. Not only was he alone in the water, but he is in a different bathroom. A bathroom that, despite the fact that he passes through there with me at least once a day, seemed completely foreign to him.
