Emily Gets Her 1st Bath at Home!

On Tuesday, January 6, 2009, Micah and I decided it was time to give Emily her first bath at home! We decided to do it in the evening and right after our showers so that the bathroom would be nice and toasty for her small little body!

She definitely wasn't a big fan at first, but seriously who would be, she was nice and warm and then we took off her clothes and put her in a tub with water and wash her! Doesn't sound like fun just as you wake up from a nice cozy nap! But as you can tell from the pictures, she got used to it little by little and by the time she made it to her changing table, wrapped in her cozy towel, she was quite content.

Mommy's job was to give the bath and Daddy's job was to video the whole process! We both succeeded, and Emily was a real trooper too! I think we will give it another try tonight! She really enjoyed being cuddled, eating, and then getting swaddled after her bath. And she slept really well afterwards too! What a little princess we have!!


Enjoy the pictures of the progression of Emily's first bath......



The Beginning, Adjusting to her new tub!


Feeling the water, "Okay this isn't so bad."


All Done and wrapped up, snuggling with Mommy!


Bath time really works on a little girl! All cozy and waiting for Daddy to put her diaper on!

She looks so much older already! Love that picture of her all wrapped up and cozy. I'm sure she'll learn to love a bath. Then she'll be 7 and will only want showers:)
