Fun in the Tub!

A few weeks ago we finally got to give Addison her first "real bath" since her umbilical cord had fallen off. We were probably more excited about this adventure than she was. It was a learning experience for all of us and luckily she had a little patience with her Daddy & I as we figured it all out. One of us had to hold her up since she was still a little too big for the baby tub, while the other one soaped her down. Overall, she definitely enjoyed the real bath vs. the sponge baths she'd had up to that point. Less chilly air to be exposed to. You could tell by the look on her face that this warm water thing was a bit new but definitely relaxing. Of course we spent the majority of the time taking her pictures and documenting the big event instead of actually bathing her. She kindly (ok not so kindly) started reminding us what we were actually there to do and we got right down to business. Here are some pics of little Addibell enjoying her "spa experience" from her Mom & Dad. Yes, these pictures were all taken just prior to the tears. Since then we've streamlined the process, and learned to make the baths short & sweet and everything flows MUCH smoother.

Kickin' back and relaxin'

Reminding Daddy it's a bath and not a photo shoot.
