bath evolution

bathing babies has never been a simple task for me. one would think that once you have a baby that would become second nature for someone. well, not this mom, cody is much more the natural at all this stuff. here is a picture from maddies first bath which you can see she didn't enjoy much and was really glad to be wrapped tightly in her hooded towel picutured next.liz tried to show me the way to bathing in the sink, which again, wasn't very good at. i just couldn't keep her slippery body in my arms well enough to wash her properly. this is also our only evidence of her baby acne. she had it on her blessing day but it doesn't appear in the photographs.

for this reason maddie has simply outgrown her newborn bath but i am having a hard time letting it go. i just love her legs down between the netting and the bath. i also love how she has figured out the toy attachment and now i have toys at the other end for her to play with.

i think i better do something soon before she pulls and kicks her way off the netting.

I can't believe how much she's grown. We are all amazed that she's still so tiny, but compared to her as a newborn she'll really becoming a lady,haha!

Love her & love you.
