First Bath Fun

Sawyer's umbilical cord finally fell off a few days after he was three weeks old.  That meant that it was bath time!  We were all interested to see just how he would react to his first real bath.  I thought because he was swimming around in all that extra fluid in the womb, he would take to the water like a fish.  It turns out that I was right.  He loved his bath!  When I say that he loved it, I mean that he did not cry AT ALL.  He became very alert, looking all around, and definitely seemed to take pleasure in the experience.

This first bath time has become a pretty familiar right of passage.  We have felt a number of deja vous  moments with this third baby.  However, this time we were accompanied by two small helpers.  One of the helpers was quite eager to join in on the experience, as can be seen in his cherubic little face.  The other helper was somewhat reluctant and unsure, but was willing to go along with it anyway.  I can't wait for the day when we put them all in the bath together!  How much fun!!
