My First Bath (Sort of . . .)

Last night I had a pretty good night but I did have a few spit ups so definitely was in need of a bath. Mom and Dad have been wiping me down each day but today, we did as close to a bath as we could. Since my cord stub has not fallen off yet, I cannot officially have a bath but Mom and Mamaw did what they could to give me a "bath". Mamaw is pretty good at baths so Mom let her show her the ropes. I did not like it at the start because it was cold and my clothes were off. Once Mom put my towel on me and kept me wrapped in it, I did not mind it so much. It actually felt good once they finished. I felt so relaxed that I took a long nap. I am learning to get used to those "baths" and diaper changes but I am still not totally sure how I feel about them.





I am a pretty good napper. I like to nap on my side or my stomach when someone is holding me. When I sleep in my bassinette, I sleep on my incline positioner Dad got me. But when someone is holding me, I sleep on my hands, just like my Dad does when he sleeps. I go to the doctor tomorrow for a weight check so I will let you know how that goes tomorrow.

Baths are a great way to get baby to relax, especially at night. I love all the pink Evie is wearing. Didn't take long did it?

Thank goodness for those "experienced" moms to show us the ropes! I know with our boys they didn't like the bath at all for a few weeks, but we would put their towel in the dryer and get it nice and warm...they quickly learned if they could tolerate the water for a few minutes a nice warm towel was waiting. Don't babies smell so yummy after a bath?!?
