Bath Time


By popular demand, here's more BABY!! Here's Will after his bath. Don't let the face fool you. He hates baths. Probably because I just can't find the right bath tub thing for him and he's always freezing! The foam thing soaks up water that soon goes cold. The plastic one seems uncomfortable and also leaves him high and wet and cold. The bathroom sink is too small, and the kitchen sink is too gross. Maybe I can make some kind of foam/plastic combo.
Will is doing great! Eating lots and lots and lots. He has wonderful fat wrinkles on his arms, legs, and neck. His eyes are still a dark blue with a lighter color forming in the middle. His newborn hair is slowly rubbing off and he was starting to look like an old, balding man but new hair is growing in now. He has a good complexion as far as new babies go. I wish he was sleeping five or more hours at a time during the night but... he's still only going about two to three hours a night. But...it's ok I guess. He seems super healthy and is growing!! Some of his newborn onesies are too tight. I was holding him during Sunday school and everyone kept looking at him and snickering because he was grunting and snorting so much. It's his favorite thing to do. Let me know if there are any more questions...any more brain busters?

Yay! So cute! I used to bathe my babies..and then I got lazy and just made Phil shower with them. You have to be careful because they're kinda slippery but if you put a washcloth down your your chest/shoulder it acts as a good grip. Both Livy and Sam loved it.

Thanks for the update. Love the cheeks. Wish I could squish them....gently.

Will is too cute. I love those bath pictures when they come out all rosy and smiley. Petey hated baths for a while too, but then we started using the foam thing when he got a bit bigger and how he can't wait for a bath. We miss you guys!!

Renee,
I gave up on all those bath tools...I just laid a folded up towel on the bottom of the tub, filled it up very shallow, but so that most of their body is in the water. The best part is you just throw the towel in the washer and don't have to worry about it drying out or getting moldy or whatever those yucky foam ones did.
Hope you don't mind that I stalk your blog randomly!

I'm glad he's doing so well, and I'm so happy for you that he's getting rolls. That's what every mom looks forward to, isn't it?
