(Warning: This post contains partial baby nudity and baby bottoms!)
We got rid of Mio’s infant bathtub a few weeks ago, and I’ve been taking baths with her ever since, mostly because it’s just easier to hop in there with her when trying to wash her, but also partially because it’s something I probably will only be able to do for a few more years. In Japan, it’s not uncommon for family members to bathe together, and I think it’s sweet for parents to join their children in their bath while they are still really young.
For obvious reasons, I can’t take any pictures of myself with her in the bath, but Daddy decided to join Mio in the bathtub for a change the other evening, and I had to take some photos to capture these sweet moments!

I love mio’s expression in the first picture! We are still using a bath seat with Clara until she gets a little more steady sitting in the water. I am looking forward to “real” bath time, though!

Isn’t it awesome? I love her expression there, too! π
I’d considered a bath seat, too, but didn’t know which ones were good, so I just always go in there with her. She does occasionally slip a little because she tries to stand up and walk around in the tub, but thankfully I’ve caught her every time.
