First Bath at Gramma H's

Emma has had a number of first this week.  This is her first bath at Gramma Hunter's.  The other day I was home alone with Emma and needed to give her a bath so I decided to try and see if she would tolerate going into the bathtub by herself.  So I put a small amount of water in the tub and went for it.  By the end of the bath she was so happy and was able to lay in the tub and the water only came up to her ears which worked beautifully.  We tried it again this time and I think we have a winner.

Emma has started wanting to stand all the time.  And when I say stand I really do mean stand.  All you really have to do is help her balance and she does the rest.  She tried standing in the tub and as you can imagine slipped all around. 

Look at all that hair!  You can fully appreciate the amount of hair this child has when it is wet.  When she lays in the water it floats out from her head like a halo.  Right now it is light brown with beautiful red and gold highlights.

This is how our bath times end.  You would think this is how they would start or something but no, when we pull her out of the tub she is always disappointed.  It doesn't matter if the bathroom is warm or if we have a towel waiting to dry her off she always looses it when bath time is over.  Perhaps we have a swimmer on our hands...

haha...that's awesome. Christopher would be the same way. Screamed when we took him out. he'd love to just lay there and splash until we were totally soaked and the water was mostly gone and if you didn't put more water in or if we took him out, he's scream! Corey was always indifferent about everything, always had this "eh, whatever. I'll take it or leave it" attitude about him. Night and day with my boys!

Isn't it amazing how baby hair has highlights and lowlights? Later in life, you pay big $ for them! ;)
