On Thursday, December 1st, we gave Owen his very first bath. Prior to today, we had been wiping him down with warm wet towels and washing his head because his umbilical cord hadn't fallen off yet. Once it had fallen off, it seemed to still be draining and we weren't sure if we should be bathing him. Uncle Danny came for a visit and took one look at Owen's belly and told us we were in the clear to give him a bath, so we jumped on it! Owen LOVES his head being washed and has loved it since his first days in the hospital. I watched as the nurses soothed a screaming baby by running his head under warm running water. When we got home, my Mom did the same thing and we were so amused by it that we did it every night just to get a laugh! I just KNEW bath time would result in the same calm, relaxed baby and I was RIGHT. We stripped Owen down and he panicked at first because he hates being cold, but the second we stuck him in his bath tub, he INSTANTLY stopped fussing and became extremely calm. He actually looked like he was about to fall asleep. It was HILARIOUS. I loved watching him so relaxed! Here are pictures to document Owen's first bath!!
