They'd probably be mad that we just take him the shower too, huh?
we did that. helped wash all the gook off of both of us.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

I can't imagine showering while holding a baby. How do you not drop the soapy slippery wigglers? How do you wash your hair and self? I can barely do these things while not holding a baby!
I do shower with my 4 year old sometimes now. She likes to have a grown-up shower, but isn't quite there to do it by herself yet.

You just fill up the tub and drop him in?!?!?!?
Well he's got to learn how to swim sometime!

When we had our dog Ginger, an English Bulldog, my brother loved to give her a "bath" by calling her into the bathroom and then taking a shower with her. She loved it.
Some of my co-workers at the bookstore and I all had a geek-out/drool-fest over Viggo Mortensen while we were waiting to leave last night. Two of us were bonding over LotR, and then the other women all started talking about their favorite men from the films, and Viggo won as the hands-down sexiest of the bunch. The guys were all rolling their eyes at us.

flea, the shower is a between baths reality. As in, DAMN what did you just spit up? Let's go in the shower. K is much better at it than I am. She soaps up a washcloth, then I hand him in, then when she's done with him, she hands him back. He REALLY likes the water on him.

He's on the foamy floaty thing. And the water doesn't go past his ears. It's not like we drop him in, then go into the living room for 30 minutes and orders shoes from Zappos. We're with him the whole time.

Someone should invent a shower Snugli.

We have a really deep bath tub. Since I've been pregnant, and filled with aches and pains, one of my faovirte things to do at the end of the day is take a bath with Ellie. We fill the tub up to her neck and she loves it. Of course, there's not so much bubbles and candles as there is bath crayons and splashing.
We used the kitchen sink until she was maybe 3 months old and then used a baby tub until she could sit up (making the baby tub dangerous).

they do have water slings. I used it some but it didn't work all that well. Plus, sling gets soapy.

Dude, I got bathed in the kitchen sink. With dishes in the other basin.
