a wet 4 weeks

henry turned 4 weeks old yesterday (he's technically not a month old until saturday). we celebrated by having his first real, fully submerged bath. i know, i know, it took me forever to do. but this is my first little boy and i wanted to make sure everything (ahem, down there) had healed before i plopped him in the tub. was i being slightly anal and a little silly? yes, i can admit to that, but that's just who i am. ;)

he was pretty angry with us as soon as we stripped his clothes off, but as soon as we slid him into a sink of warm water he settled right down. (yep, he's taking a bath in the sink, i have not gotten around to ordering his tub yet, someday i will.) he did really well sitting in the sink while i scrubbed him, until i got his head wet. that was not a hit, and he let us know. but i was quick and as soon as we pulled him out he settled down. it's so nice to a have a sweet, freshly bathed baby to hold.
