I think first baths are exiting for mothers because they no longer have to sponge bathe their poor little shivering and crying babies. Also, this signifies that the umbilical cord has fully fallen off and there is a beautifully unique belly button in its place.
At least this was the case for me.
Here is the story of Avery's first bath in pictures.
 |
| Little Avery with her suspicious look. She had no idea what she was in for. |
 |
| At first she tried to get away from the water. |
 |
| Then she started telling us all about how she didn't like what was happening. |
 |
| After she settled down she didn't mind it so much. |
 |
| Her eyes were so wide as if to say, "What just happened?" |
 |
| She still wasn't sure what just happened.... This look cracks me up! |
I am happy to say that she quite likes her baths now and they are sometimes
the means to calm her down.
They are a happy time and I look forward to how fun they will continue to be.
