To say Colin doesn't like bathtime is an understatement! We are hoping when he gets a little older he likes it a little more. While Mimi and Pappy were still in town we did Colin's first bath. Sleep deprived Mommy was a little overwhelmed with how to do it all. Thankfully Mimi came to the rescue and took over halfway through!
A few days later after the grandparents left we tried the bath thing again! Mommy looked up bathtime in her Baby 411 book and realized we were doing a few things wrong the first time. Apparently one of the keys to bathing an infant is to have an extra towel that they lay in and that you can cover all the parts that you are not washing. Poor little Colin got really cold during that first bath!
Cozy and all ready for his second bath:
Daddy doing a great job:
Love those baby feet:
Got to love a warm swaddle after a bath:
I remember our first baths with Dillon. It definitely gets easier once you can put the baby into the water instead of doing the sponge bath. And now that we're on number 3, we find it easiest to just take baby into the shower with one of us once the stump falls off.
ReplyDeleteNow that Anneke is older and can sit in the tub, she LOVES baths.
