OK, I have this same problem with my 6 month old. I have been very consistent about removing him from the table and he has been very consistent about looking at me with that "What's your problem lady?" look. Honestly he acts exactly like a very strong willed 3 year old we had around here. Every once in awhile when I tell him "Off!" he complies but I have a sneaking feeling it's because he wants to get off anyway.
Putting water in pans on the table would only make it an even bigger draw. He sticks his head in our showers all the time and sleeps curled up in the bathroom sink when the mood strikes him. The other day I found he'd knocked over a glass of water that had been left on the kitchen table and was having a grand time of it.
Compounding the problem is the fact that he likes to be near me but doesn't like physical contact and my computer is two feet away from the table. So when I'm typing he thinks the place to be is sprawled out on the table directly behind me.
