Family Firsts: A bath for Sophia

We were discharged from the hospital on Saturday the 25th, three days after Sophia was born.

Each night of our stay, Sophia was given a bath, and then returned to us.

It reminded me of how when staying in a hotel, you return to a room with neatly made bed sheets.

On our third day home, Joshua noticed that our little girl smelled "salty", and we decided it was probably about time for that first bath.

The fact that she had her first pediatrician visit that day/first time leaving the house, provided additional motivation.

I read the full page of instructions on infant bathing provided by the hospital while Joshua performed the actual bathing.

She didn't seem to mind.......

.....until the hair washing.

Fortunately the experience appeared to be redeemed by the towel at the end.

Despite the warm cuddles, bathing was one of Sophia's least favorite things in her first two weeks of life.

So far there are only three things on this list.

In rank order they include:
1.Bathing (specifically the hair washing part)
2.The Car Seat (when the car isn't moving)
3.Diaper Changes (about half the time)
