Shortly after Gabriel was born, the nurse gave him his first bath in our hospital room. I remember hearing her say to him as he contently allowed her to bathe him,"Do you like having your hair washed?" Little did I know then how very much he would love bath time.
During the weeks when Gabriel was undiagnosed with his pyloric stenosis and he was inconsolable most of the time, one of the things besides constantly holding him that was sure to calm him, was a bath. He would instantly stop crying and become like jelly and just be so content.
Now at almost three months old, I can tell he kind of knows bath time is coming each evening when we take him into the bathroom and turn on the faucet. He immediately calms down. He is becoming so much fun to watch and is like a whole different baby once hes in his little tub. Once he's in he starts moving his whole body around and kicking his legs in such excitement, his little eyes get big and the water splashes all out of the tub, its just so cute to watch, even the older children get a kick out of it.
