Eli's 1st Real Bath


Better Late than never! These pics were taken well over a month ago (Eli turns 8 weeks/2 months tomorrow). These are from his first real bath. I say "real" bath because the other pics we posted were from his first sponge bath. This time he was in his wash basin and fully immersed in the water for the 1st time ever. He wasn't too sure at first what to make of the experience, but since this first time, he's come to really love his baths. He's recently started to kick his legs to make splashes in the water. And last time he surprised himself by tooting and making bubbles. His reaction was priceless.
Here's a shot of him experiencing his 1st full dip.

You can see by his reaction here that he was a bit wary, and a bit overwhelmed.

Eli has such incredible eye contact. He kept staring at us wondering why we would put him through such an ordeal. It was heartbreaking, but also very amusing.

He really didn't enjoy being taken out of the warm water just to freeze his little tookus off in the cold air. Luckily we splurged on a very warm, very comfy towel. And when I say we splurged, I mean Taryn splurged. And when I say Taryn splurged, I mean that she just went shopping.

When all was said and done, he was pretty satisfied, as were we, since he smelled so much better, like a botanical garden in diapers.
