Thursday’s Three: Bumbo time!
My lovely and fabulous friend Kelsey, from K.B. Squared, was kind enough to let me borrow her Bumbo seat to see if Ruari liked it. This way I can decide if I’d like to buy it or not. I’ve had it for one night and Ruari is loving it. She’ll only sit in it for about 15 minutes at a time… but, that’s a nice break for this mama!
So, Angus got really excited while she was sitting in the Bumbo and started running around crazy and playing. This made Ruari crack up! So sweet.
1) The first pick is: Ta dah! The Bumbo seat! I’ve only been using it for a day… but, wow! It’s been great. Especially since Ruari is so tired of her bouncy.

Wordless Wednesday
Getting stuff done!
I actually got stuff done this weekend! Mike was so helpful and he took care of baby for most of the weekend while I worked on cleaning! Yeah, I wanted to clean! It was really a nice break from bouncing a baby all day. Really. She likes to be walked and bounced pretty much all day. I can’t wait till she learns to crawl… everyone tells me it’s harder cause I have to chase her everywhere. It will be so much nicer than me walking for her! Silly baby.

Product Review: Prince Lionheart washPOD
{Ruari at about 3 months}
{Prince Lionheart washPod: on Amazon}
{Prince Lionheart washPod: on Amazon}
For a little while there we didn’t like bathing her in this thing. She was so little and wobbly. But, it’s perfect now!
Why I love♥ it:
– The design is supposed to be similar to the inside of a mother’s womb. I believe this is why Ruari is always calm once we get her in the bath. She’s not into lying on her back. She likes to sit up and see the world!
– There’s a nice foam insert that suctions to the bottom to keep baby from sliding around.
– The handles are easy to grip.
– Comes with stickers to mark the proper water level.
– It’s clear so you can see your little baby’s bum!
– It’s not too heavy to carry since you don’t put much water in it… this also means you don’t have to worry about splashing as you move it.
– Ruari is 5 months now: she really loves sitting up in her bath now. She’s starting to splash!
– Really sturdy. I don’t every worry about it tipping.
Downsides:
– Doesn’t fit in my sink… but, I do have a tiny sink and it’s easy to clean if you have a sink sprayer.
– It’s so awkward to get baby in it, I have to bathe Ruari with at least one other person. It is fun to bathe her though… Mike enjoys it!
– Since baby is sitting in it… it’s difficult to clean the bum, crevices, under armpits.. We usually wipe down those areas when we take her out.
– Hard to get baby out. Again: I need at least one other person to do this.
– I didn’t like it for my newborn. The bathing age is for 0 – 6 months. When we started bathing Ruari at 1 month she still didn’t have neck strength… and she was tiny. I was so nervous bathing her because she would fall forward/slip down. But, we always had 2 people while bathing.
– The age limit is to 6 months. I guess this means I have to get a new tub in a month… I’d say it’s more of a 2 or 3 month to 6 or 7 month aged baby tub, for us. All depends on the baby.
– A little spendy for a tub I use for less than 6 months.
– My baby is totally trying to put everything in her mouth now… this does include the water. She leans forward to get closer to the water. Always supervise a baby while bathing!
– There is no rubber grip on the base of the tub. It doesn’t move around too much, but I think I’d be more comfortable with a no-slip base.
Yes: I’d say I recommend the Prince Lionheart washPOD if you don’t mind the fact that your spending around $25 for a tub that you’ll use for 6 months. My baby does really love it now! We enjoy baths so much! I’m hoping this tub really helps us transition easier to the adult tub. I’m happy we bought it! Worth it and I think she’ll fit in it up to 7 months.
