We have figured out how hot to keep the water and even how to keep her from screaming while I wash her back. I am the official washer and Dan's job is to keep a continuous flow of water trickling down her head so she stays warm and distracted. She screams like a banshee as soon as we pull her out (and I still cry when she does that) but Dan puts her in my arms and we wrap her up tight and rock with her until she chills out.
It is one of my favorite moments with her, when she calms down and is wide awake looking up at us while we warm her up. She is just too cute!!
(I took this one last night- she was being so funny! oh, and a shout out to mimi for the hooded bath towel- she loves it!)

We let the hair dryer run in the bathroom with the door closed to warm up the bathroomfor a while before we begin the bath. Keeping the room itself warm this way helped us out! And,our first bath experience was not fun either.Glad i'm not the only one.She's precious!
We leave a wash cloth on Evyn's tummy and pour warm water on it and that seems to help too. She does fine for the bath but HATES the lotion part of the process. Cute pictures.
so cute! lets please get together so our little ones can meet!
Your trials bring back so many memories and so WAY too familiar. Brooke hated her first few baths, as did we (I cried the entire time too), but the lovely smell and cuddle time afterwards calmed us all down. Steven installed a heater in our bathroom just for Brooke's baths and the warmer the better! Keep up the good work.
Okay...that belly is the cutest thing ever...makes you want to kiss it! When does the Buddah-Belly stop being so cute?! I'm ready to be well and come kiss both of you!
