i love bath time with our little
butterbean.. it usually means some good one-on-one time with baby and
Hubs... It has been fun to see the progression from screaming infant : "
Dont you DARE put me in that water~ AHHH hot lava, hot lava yiiiiiiii!!!" , to seeing him
kick his chubby little legs and take delight in the water splashing
around him. I especially like all his little rolls and button toes
sticking out, a healthy glowing boy.
Every now and then he gets
so comfi-cozi that he pees straight up into the air like a true
sailor-child, and Hubs and I are reduced to laughing..
he
loves to just sit in the tub, rub-a-dubb-dubbing.. he looks so like an
old man sitting in his bath for a good ole fashioned soak... we scrub
his fingernails with a toothbrush, and give a good polish to those
chunky neck-folds, getting in all his nooks and crannies.. he pretty
much comes out looking like a Johnson- &-Johnson bath time
advertisement..
His least favorite moments are
having his hair washed (* and by hair i mean stubborn follicles sticking
straight up, and a bald spot on the back)... Hubs takes out a
measuring cup and gives him a good soak.. his locks get all fuzzy and
curly and he resembles a fluffy duckling ..
I know that my
motherhood will be full of bath times, but right now they are still
special moments that i treasure.. .i still enjoy kissing his baby toes,
and trouncing him up in little hooded towels and watching his face light
up when i lather him up with baby lotion:(that always gives him a good
tickle)
...
i do not want to forget his sweet baby smell right
out of the bath.. like sunshine and bubbles. . . oh how sentimental we
mothers get~!
little baby love, i so enjoy our bath times
together~! Soon you will be able to sit up yourself in the bathtub, and
then everything changes again.. there will be bath toys, and little
squeaking whales and ships, and i am sure an overflow from the tub from
you making waves, and splashing about, like a true commodore!
but for now, dont grow up quite yet, stay my sweet duckling, just for a little bit longer.
