First Bath

Well, after one week in this world, Kensie was ready for a bath. Her umbilical cord fell off during her pediatrician appointment on August 4th. It was fortunate that Mimi was here for a visit, since I had no idea how to bathe a baby. I had the tub and the tiny wash cloths and a variety of baby washing products... but was unsure how to make it all work. See poor cold Kensie below in her fancy baby tub!

After watching me try to bring warm water up to my chilly baby for a few minutes, Mimi said to just hold her over the sink and wash her there with the water running on her head. Who would have thought that would be so easy!

When it was all done, Kensie thoroughly enjoyed being all bundled up in her towel. In fact, she was so cute after her bath, that I think we will give her another one today! Love, Jess
