Jersey's first bath.....at six weeks old


We are LAZY when it comes to bathing little ones. Jersey spits up a bit so she is "wiped down" every day at least once. But when she really needs a bath, mean mommy lays her on a towel and lathers her up and "showers" her off under the running sink water. She cries and hates it of course but total time=2 minutes. Autumn had been bugging us to give Jersey a bath so she could help. So...we drag out the tub. Fill it with water. Check the temperature. Strip Jersey down. Lay her in the tub. Calm her down. Lather her up. Scrub. Scrub. Scrub. Take pictures. Dry off Jersey. Clean and dry off tub. Put tub back under bed where it is stored. Total time=45 minutes. It's a good thing for cameras to capture those "rare" moments.

I love how you oh so discreetly covered up her girly parts with a wash rag! She's so cute!

We aren't big bath parents either. I think Karah & Alyssa used the baby bath tub only a handful of times so I think we're going to getting rid of it. The new baby will probably get washed in the sink then the normal tub when bigger.
