First Bath

 

 

Isn’t it amazing how stinky little newborns can get?   After two and a half weeks of sticking various parts of him under the bathroom faucet, Isaac’s umbilical stump (yuck) finally fell off (I closed my eyes, fished it out of his shirt with a tissue, and threw that sucker AWAY!).  It was bathtime!

With my “wonderful helper”  (and his wonderful cowlick!  Almost haircut time…):

Isaac is such an easy going little guy (other than the evenings) that he didn’t even make a peep.  Even with a freezing cold two-year-old’s hand splashing water all over his face.

Let’s compare that last picture to high-maintenance Joseph’s first bath time experience:

Yeah, I was due for an easy baby.

You SO were due to for an easy baby! If anyone deserves it, it is you. But Joseph is so wonderful I know all those rough times are so worth it. How many times has his cuteness saved him?!?

I had the easy child the first go around and my second is more like your Joseph. LOL.... You are right, you deserve the easy going baby this time around.

I had an easy baby the first go around...perhaps I shouldn't tempt fate and just stop at 1 lol.

Loved all the pics especially those last 2 in the bath.

I forget how skinny newborns are! And in that one photo, it looks like Joseph is going to push the baby's whole head underwater!!! I'm sure it is just "great" having a little helper!!<-----sarcasm.

I'm glad you got an easy one this time around!
