Bath Time

Mr. Tyke has finally decided that bath time isn't so bad after all.

His first week home it was sponge baths for him because of his umbilical cord.  He'd scream until he was purple in the face.  I can't say that I blame him.  Once his umbilical cord fell off and we could actually stick him in the tub he did a lot better but still cried a lot.

Real bath time lasted about a week and then he got circumcised at his 2 week check up.  That led to another 2 weeks of sponge baths and screaming from our little guy.  Now that we're home free and he can enjoy his bath time again he's a happy camper and so are we.

He's so calm while bathing but he gives me the most concerned looks like he's still not sure about this.  His little belly is getting big which makes him grunt pretty hard when I lean him forward to wash his back side.  It's pretty darn cute!

The transition from tub to towel is pretty traumatic for him.  He HATES being naked!  We have to move quick to get him in his towel and bundled up.  As soon as he calms down I clean his ears and nose (HATES IT!) and then I lotion him down (SUPER HATES IT!).  It's the worst part of his whole day! =)  He's getting better at it all though, especially if his daddy is there holding his hand for moral support.  I love my boys!
