rub-a-dub!

Bryson got his first real bath last night! I was so happy for a few reasons. Mostly, I was happy that nasty umbilical stump had fallen off (though I got a little teary thinking it was the last connection between the two of us, stupid hormones!). I was also excited because this means we get to start a bedtime routine!! I know he is too young right now for any real schedule to happen, but I learned with Brody a baby is never too young to get started on a good bedtime routine. Bath time was always a big part of Brody's routine, so I plan to make it part of Bryson's also. I just need to figure out how to do bedtime with two kids. Right now, it's not a real big deal since Mike is home in the evenings, but when he has to travel, I will have to do it all alone. Unless I can get my mom or neighbor to come over to help at bedtime the first couple of times...

I'm not really sure why I am making that face. Brody had so much fun "helping", I had to keep him from dripping water right into Bryson's eyes a few times!

He seemed to really enjoy kicking back and relaxing in the tub. Which was a huge relief! I was worried I wouoldn't get lucky twice with kids that like the bath!

We have a picture of dad and Brody like this after the first bath so we had to do it again!

Dad thought it would be funny to spike his hair after his bath!
