Bath time



Claire practices her 'no more pictures' for her father who was acting as the paparazzi last night.



Mom under the watchful eye of the nurse.


Claire getting her hair washed. Are those curls? Where did she get those???


Mom and dad went in for an evening visit to give mom some more practice with bathing. Dad is an old pro from his days of bathing Jordan so he feels far more comfortable than mom with the whole idea of putting the little one in the bath. Claire handles the bath quite well, no tears and just a few scrunchy looks at mom. Mom has to work on her ability to hold onto a wet baby who has soap on her skin! Once again the nurse was quite helpful passing on some tips while mom slowly worked her way through the bath.

Claire is still eating one bottle well during the day. The nurse practitioner upped her 'order' yesterday so Claire could take up to three bottles a day dependent upon how awake she is at feeding time. Mom & dad swears she sleeps 23.5 hours a day (all but the 30 minutes when she takes her morning bottle). We did get some awake time last night after the bath but she zonked out not too long after her bath. It's tough being 9 days old!

Oh Holly - she really is adorable!

Kathy just went through the slippery wet bathing baby time last week too. Eeek! Good luck! I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time. :)
