Bathing is his absolute favorite activity right now. Please excuse my whiny voice. The things Freddie has to put up with. The video gives just a glimpse as he is winding up for lots of splashing and smiling. it is the first two minutes of the bath and he is just getting into moving all appendages at once to make as big a splash as possible. I'll have to take another video when Charlie is home so the camera can be far enough away to stay dry!
He wiggles and squirms. It is a sure fire way to change his mood when he's a grump, crying for who know what reason. He likes getting out and being bundled and cuddled in a towel, but once he figures out the bath his over, he usually has quite the meltdown.

He's like a little duck in there! And I love his huge smiles. We haven't gotten any out of Ford that big yet!
Oh and- We went cold turkey on the swaddler. He's been so interested in kicking his legs lately that I gave it a whirl putting him in a sleep sack instead. Now he 'kickapoos" (what we call it in our house) for a while before drifting off. But K did read that to wean them off the swaddle gently you can leave one arm out at a time.
I used to put the baby tub inside the regular tub!! That really helps with the splashing!! Also - as soon as he was around 3 months old I got rid of the baby tub and used the regular tub with a soft squishy liner on the bottom (they sell them at Toys R Us or Walmart).
If you want to use the BIG tub just fill the tub up a little bit - then he can roll over (assuming he can hold himself up on his elbows) and splash and experiment with putting his face in and out of the water (with Mom's CLOSE supervision of course!!)
He is a very happy baby!!
Wow! He's going to flop out of there soon- he's so active! Work those muscles, Freddie! It'll be so fun to take a "swim" in the big master bath tub when it's ready. Your own pool for two;)
