Bath time in the sink
February 18, 2010 | Category: Uncategorized
Is there anything better than a baby hanging out, having a bath in the sink? I don’t think so. It’s the perfect size, doesn’t use much water, and although Zoe freaks if I put her into the big tub, she LOVES sitting in the sink. So, a sink bath every day it is. Although my kitchen sink is right underneath a large window, it was the wrong time of day (the light comes through in the morning, but in the afternoon it’s like a cave!) so my ISOs were high. I always forget to get photos of these everyday moments though, so I just grabbed my camera (and a helper!) and went for it.





She reaaaally wanted that duck (which came from p2c - my kids LOVE when I get a p2c order in because THEY get a duck LOL). And see how wet the bench was? She discovered the joy of splashing.

If you’re going to take photographs of baby in the sink, make sure you have a helper on hand to hold baby and stand right there in case she wiggles ![]()

My helper! ![]()

Zoe is actually sick with a cold right now, and was not at all impressed when I wanted to take a photo of her all wrapped up in her towel post-bath.

Speaking of being sick, Lilly was in hospital for several hours the other night after she had a really bad asthma attack. She’s still sick now, having ventolin every couple of hours. She has a really high fever right now too (though is thankfully asleep in bed, getting some much needed rest!).
Also, I know this is kind of random, but are any Sydney-siders going to Colour Conference? (Hillsong) at the entertainment center. I’ve never been before, and I am fairly anti-hillsong, but my sister in law keeps telling me how great it is, and now both of Matt’s sisters are going and my niece is going so here I am buying a ticket. Just curious to know whether any one else is headed out there, maybe we can say hi or something.

So gorgeous Amanda! Hope everyone is feeling better soon. We are a sickhouse atm too. Your eldest looks like such a sweet kid, love these
Great photos as always. It’s these everyday ones that we cherish as adults, don’t you reckon? I know I have a few albums of just ordinary everyday snaps from when I was a kid, and they’re so special. Your kids will love these.

Jennifer - yes, exactly! I don’t have HEAPS of photos from growing up, but the ones I do have of everyday stuff are the ones I love the most.
Anja - yes he is 10 now!! So funny how time goes by.
I can’t see the pics.
Huh weird. They’re not showing up now.
gorgeous photos! Did you climb up on the counter for the ones from above? I love the angle! So sorry to hear about Lilly, my little one has asthma too, so I know how hard it is, especially with kids that young.
Hope she is feeling better soon!

OH MY! She is so beautiful! That helper of yours sure is a cute too, love him!
Hope those babies are better soon.
PS-was it hard to adjust to another babe in the house? Good grief, things have been crazy around here, I don’t know which end is up!
The Hillsong conferences are pretty amazing. I think the best part is the speakers though. They come from all over the place and it’s really encouraging
crap - I didn’t know you went to the HOSPITAL!! SOOO sorry!!! I’m glad she’s doing better now! And those sink pcs - they’re my favorite. Why do we always forget the everyday. Love Jacob’s hand and little face in the pics. He’s darling!
you have a very beautiful daughter. Look at her eyes. Really win my heart…..
Oh my gosh, what a cutie!! I love the bath photos!
