Kate's first bath

I know, some people would say that we're bad parents--Kate is two months old, and we just gave her her first bath tonight. Oh well; like I always say, it's not like she's out working construction every day and getting all sweaty, right? Anyway, she loved her bath. We put her in the whale tub Tracy gave us (the whale tub itself was in our bathtub, so that I could sit in the empty bathtub close by her, but without getting wet myself), and she just started smiling right away. She kicked and splashed around a bit; she was so happy. But she was NOT happy to get out! Even though we dried her off with a really soft towel, put lavender and chamomile lotion on her, and put her in this adorable Winnie the Pooh robe and booties, she was having none of it! Well, until I fed her, that is; eating always calms her down and soothes her! :)


A little hesitant at first; not really sure what to make of it!


What is this, exactly?


So happy!


She loves this!








"I want to get back in the bath!"


So mad!!


She always does this lip thing when she gets mad; Dan and I say, "Oh, the lip is coming out!" and we know that's a sign that a meltdown is imminent.
