John's First Bath

John had his first real bath today.  My mom and the kids all helped make this bath possible.  John cried a lot at the beginning - the kind of cry where he's just breathing in for a really long time before he screams.  By the end he had stopped crying and was just accepting it.  He was all cute and clean at the end of it all...and no permanent emotional trauma I think.  Here he is in his tubby.  This is when he had already reached the "acceptance" stage of the bath.

 He doesn't look happy, but he wasn't crying anymore.
That's something.  I love those super chubby cheeks and that double chin! 

 I think he was just waiting for it to be over


 And soon enough it was.  Here he is all snuggled in his towel.
Nice and clean.

 And in jammies.  His left clavicle is the one that got broken and he is more hesitant to use that arm as a result.  So he'll punch you with his right.  I think he's getting ready to do that here.

It's good to be clean!

And here's a bonus picture...John sleeping.  He's a good sleeper.

John is getting so big. It's good to see that he finally accepted his fate about the bath. He looks cute all clean (not that he wasn't cute before :).

Love,
Daddy
