Rubber Ducky, You're the one!

As I mentioned on here a couple of times, Drew's umbilical cord hung on for dear life.  Most kids lose it 1-2 weeks after birth.  Not Drew-- he kept it until 9 weeks, and only lost it then because Rob pulled it off (I was there- it didn't hurt him).  So we got to start the whole "bathing in a bathtub" thing later than most.  Everyone told me he would probably take some time to get used to the idea, since he was getting in so late.



I think it's fair to say he at least tolerates the bath.  He has never cried in the tub, but has yet to smile in it, either.  He SCREAMS when I take him out, though, which I totally understand.  That is the worst part of a bath/shower- getting into the cold air when you are nice and warm. 

Because our only bathtub is upstairs, D is now spending a lot more time in his room.  He loves the mobile mom and I painted for him, and I think he likes his crib.  Now if we could just get him to sleeping through the night I would be ready to put him up there for good!
