The First Bath

Don't worry folks, Orelia did not wait for her first bath until today.  She actually got her first bath in the hospital and her first at home bath last week.

It started out all well and good with her enjoying one of her only naked times of her life...

And then this happened.  Daddy poured water on her, and she didn't take too kindly to it.

John did all the work on this bath, and I just stood by and took pictures (while occasionally shushing in Orelia's ear to try to calm her cries).

Of course we had a hooded towel waiting by to dry her tears and damp body.

Once she was warmed up she seemed to forget the trauma of the previous five minutes.  That's the good thing about newborns, they don't hold grudges (and are adorable in hooded towels).
