The Triple Bath

With just one baby, Patrick and I did not give Ryder baths - he would just shower with one of us.  When he was about 7 months old we switched to baths (most of the time).  With Harvick and Jarrett - it is primarily baths - although, they will shower with one of us on occasion.

I have blogged about bath night before, and the assembly line process we go through.

But, tonight - the boys all got to be in the tub together!!!

Harvick, Jarrett, and Ryder!
I was probably more excited about it than any of them . . . but, they seemed to enjoy it as well!  Both Harvick and Jarrett are doing well with sitting up; however, we have noticed that Harvick does better when his helmet is on - he will have to make some balance adjustments once it is off more often.

(Harvick on the left (with Patrick's arm/hand ready to catch him if needed), Jarrett on the right)

Doesn't Jarrett look like Ryder in this picture?!

People that have known Ryder since birth tend to tell us that Harvick looks most like him.  People that have known Ryder since about age 1 and on tend to say Jarrett is more similar.

Ryder, Harvick (taking a break from sitting), and Jarrett!
The bath process was still a bit of an assembly line, but we are looking forward to the day when we can stick all three of them in together, without having to be there to catch one as they slip!

Ben falls sometimes in the bath too; mostly when he is very excited and waving his arms around. I love that I can do one, combined bath when it works out - saves a lot of time. Glad you guys can make it work with three in a tub.
