The Tummy Tub

The beauty of the tummy tub apparently lies in the womb-like
posture the baby adapts while in it.

While out to dinner at friends' last night, Luka promptly announced that it was tub-time at 1830.  Fortunately we were at the home of fellow-new parents with all the necessary gear for rinsing a little one after a long hot Timor day.  And so we were introduced to the phenomena of the Tummy Tub!  Not quite convinced of the safety of this odd shaped device, Chris hesitantly lowered Luka into the clear plastic bucket in the shower.  Once we were instructed on the appropriate water level, we were amazed at how much he loved it!  Apparently this is the go-to-tub in Europe.  We couldn't quite figure out how to actually wash him, but hey - he seemed to have a ball and how filthy does a non-walker really get at this point?

Oh! Toes!!

Another day, another new experience!
