The Hot Tub

At our cabin in Cleavland, GA, Canaan found a new favorite thing...the hot tub.

Similar to the pink tub, but even better--it's bigger, it's hotter, you don't have to get out when you poop because you have a swim diaper on, AND Mom and Dad can fit in too.

Favorite position #1: floating on Daddy's arm. A baby with big cheeks is very buoyant. A big diaper that's loaded with pee is very buoyant too...who doesn't pee when you get in the nice, hot, warm, cozy hot tub?

Favorite position #2: in the gigantic life jacket. Actually, this life jacket is very special to Canaan--it's the very first gift given to her by her grandpa (Maureen's dad). Some grandparents bestow upon their first grandchild gifts such as a silver spoon, or a christening gown, or a special photo, but not this grandpa. He gives Canaan a life jacket. Specifically for when she starts sailing with Mom and Dad. Unfortunately, this life jacket will fit a little better when she's four years old. So for now, we just rig it up so she can float around.

Favorite position #3: tummy time on the gigantic life jacket. This way, Canaan can look at her Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Michael and Aunt Lindsay and Uncle John while the jets are swirling her around the hot tub.

Finally, her 4th favorite position, the "dunk position" when her daddy blows in her face, and dunks her in the water. Amazingly, she actually liked it--no crying, only a little surprised about the water that got in her eyes--we'll get goggles for her next hot tub experience!
