Bath Time

By -
Marie hated her first bath (see below) and I should take some of the blame for this. As first-time parents, we probably didn't do everything right.

We are trying to establish a night time routine which includes a bath. Because she didn't like it so much, I was a little weary of making her endure a nightly bath. However, I am happy to report, she is liking bath time much, much better now. She's actually probably on the verge of loving it. Using the handheld water sprayer makes it a lot easier and fun for all of us.

Kinda crazy but I feel like in those last two bath pics - I see Dan in her face and then I see you - I guess she just favors both of you. :) She's beautiful no matter what, though!

I can't believe she's already six weeks old. Are you starting to get some smiles yet? That's the best!

I'm glad Marie is enjoying her bathtime now. That took some getting used to for Brennan, too.

Andrew detested his first bath. I remember trying to go as fast as I could while Phil wedged himself into a corner of the bathroom with his fingers in his ears. :-)

A Few More of my Favorite (Mommy) Things

I know I am going over board with this but as I was nursing my son last night and he was cuddling with his doggie, I thought of a few more... Identical Lovey - Once your child has clearly established a lovey, get a second one exactly the same. It makes switching them out for washing so much easier and if your child is sick and throws up all over Lovey #1, you can "pretend" to quickly clean it and swap it out with the ready-and-waiting clean Lovey #2. We actually have 3 of my son's doggie - one is permanently in the car, one in his room and the last stays hidden in a closet for "back up". Cold Soothie Paci for Teething - We used this type of paci only for a very short time when my kids were newborns, then we switched to a Avent kind that is less likely to fall out... anyway, I kept this kind and figured out these are great when kids are teething. Put them in the freezer and they get nice and cold but not too hard like ice. Since the whole thing is that rubber...

JJ is at it again

Last year my mother-in-law gave us a plastic snow globe, which, the kids LOVE. I think that's in part because they are actually allowed to play with it and real snow globes are off limits. With JJ it is a very good thing real snow globes are off limits. Just watch this:

A Few of My Favorite (Mommy) Things

One of my favorite (no, it is my FAVORITE) blogs is It's Almost Naptime and Missy is doing a Mom-to-Mom post where anyone (even the likes of me) can submit some of their mommy tips and how-tos to make life easier. So without further ado here are some of my favorite things, with and without photos: Contoured Laundry Basket - a MUST-HAVE for any mom with a baby - you can hold it and the baby while going up and down the stairs! And even when you aren't holding a baby, you are likely holding something else. The Time Timer - a visual "clock" for kids who can't yet tell time. We use it for quiet time and I can put up to 2 hours on the clock (the red can wrap around twice) and tell Marie she can come out of her room when "all the red is gone." It's on the expensive side but very cool. (Thanks for telling me about it Jane.) Frozen, Rotten Bananas - well kind of... our household won't eat bananas if they are the slightest bit mushy. Once they ar...
