Thomas' First Bath
You can see how proud Gracie is to help clean her little brother in this picture. We are being sure to include her in an as many helpful activities with the new baby as possible, and she is loving it. Of course having Grandma here has helped with the transition as well.
Since our little boy HATES for any part of his body to be unclothed, the bath was less than a peaceful experience. But, we can't complain. Other than when he is slightly undressed (which includes all diaper changes!), or if we miss the signs that he is hungry--this baby doesn't cry. He is a sleep champion and oh so cuddly.
But since this mommy has no experience with changing little boys, everything in this house has practically gotten soaked; which makes for many diaper and clothing changes. On the plus side he has gotten to wear almost half of his wardrobe in his first week at home ;)
Though I am tired, and I over do it each day (and end up with quite a bit of pain by night fall), life at home with baby is going well. He really is a good baby, and we couldn't be happier to have our whole family here together.
We will post more pictures soon, I promise!
You need to get at wee wee tepee. Seriously--they are called that.
ReplyDeleteLet's just say you use in when you have his diaper off so that you don't get squirted in the eye. :)
I think Matt secretly hoped for a boy just so we could get one.
