I don't know if it's only our baby Jaiden behaves like he is when he is being bathed. Since birth, he has to be bathed by two persons because he cried so loud the moment the water touches his skin. Then he would be very moving. His arms and legs would sprang to air as if it was astounded of the activity he was in. We then would say that he forgot that for nine months he lived in a bag of water. Well, even just a few minutes when he was born, he screamed out loud when he had his first bath ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahWf5Grm9bU). So somehow, it's a no wonder then. If my memory serves me right, every bath time Jaiden cried until he was four months old (?, oh damn! I wish I had noted it.). Mama would say that she thinks every baby is supposed to be bathed by one person only because you are strong enough to dominate them. But our baby Jaiden is different.
When he was getting aged, he gradually loved the water. He would jump, stamp his feet on the water, smile when he has an audience and sometimes would touch the water which would make it still impossible to bath him by one person only. You have to find ways to let him hold into something to minimize his movement so you can clean his body.
Last Friday when I arrived from office finding him not having his bath yet, it was mama and I who did it. Mama as always, was in-charge of holding him to keep him still (as much as possible) while I was the one who did the bathing. He snatched from me the plastic glass we used (in pouring water into his body). So I got another one as a replacement. So holding on to that plastic glass, made me did the rest of the bathing activities. Even when his bathing was finished, he still didn't let go of it (see pic below) - a useful thing for keeping him still again when he would have to wear his diaper and clothings.

I am hoping that maybe when he's already able to sit or stand on his own, he can be bathed by one person only. Fingers crossed. :)
