Rub-a-dub-dub

We finally gave Lane his first bath on April 6, when he was one month and one day old. We had to wait until his circumcision ring fell off and then right when it did, Daddy left for San Francisco for the week. I had been giving Lane sponge baths since birth, but waited until Kyle got home to give him his first "real" bath. It was an experience, that's for sure! Lane HATED it. He screamed the whole time...the red-faced, not breathing kind of screams! Poor little guy couldn't wait for it to be over! And mean mommy kept taking pictures while daddy video taped! :(

This is a fake smile...
It's over! Calming down with daddy...
He was content when he was wrapped in dad's arms.

The next night we tried again, and Lane actually liked it! He just sat there looking relaxed, and didn't cry this time until he got out!

Finally got that thumb in his mouth!
He now loves his bath, and it is one of my favorite times of the day. He will smile and coo while I bathe him, but still hates to be dried off, probably because he is cold. There is nothing like the smell of a clean baby!
