Paul's Fist Bath in the Big Tub and Other Tales...



Paul took his first bath in the big tub Saturday night. It was the cutest thing! He splashed the whole time and loved it. He squealed and laughed with delight. We went and bought him a rubber ducky today. He wasn't very interested in it, though - too busy with the water. It's funny how we want to get our little ones all the cool lights and sounds toys, but then the things they're most interested in are the simplest ones that cost us nothing, like the water in the tub and paper and packaging the toys come in.


He sits up very well on his own now and loves to dance and shake to singing and music. We'll sit him up in his crib, which is creaky and noisy and he loves to entertain himself by just rocking it and making noise. He reminds me of Michael when he was that age - loves all the attention he can get and hams it up by performing for everyone.

He had his six month check today. He weighs almost 21 lbs. and is 28 inches. The funny thing
is, he went down to the 91%. It's hard to believe there's even bigger babies than that.




His favorite toy is Baby Bear. The bears paws are numbered 1-6 and when you push them, they tell the story of Goldy Locks and The Three Bears. He's loved the bear from the beginning and has always talked back to it. It instantly puts a smile on his face. He loves talking toys and will jabber back to them. We gave him Alysa's Elmo stuffed animal the other day and he just looked at it like, "Why aren't you talking to me?".
