Rub-a-Dub-Dub...

Bennett's finally in the tub!


Of course this is not Bennett's first bath but it is the first time I've put him in the baby tub. I have been doing sponge baths because frankly I was lazy and didn't want to go down to the basement and get the tub and then he had his surgery and he's not supposed to be submerged while his incision is healing. Well, I wouldn't be submerging him at this age any way so I thought it was time for him to get a feel for a "real" bath. He seemed to like it much better than being washed down with a wash cloth while lying on a towel on the counter-go figure! (If you look closely you can see his incision-not bad, huh?)


It got me thinking about how I have pictures of all my kids wrapped up in their towels after a bath- nothing cuter if you asked me! Here they all are at about the same age, warm and snuggly after their bath...


Ainsley-check out that hair!

Harper-chub-a-lub

and Bennett-trying to get that thumb in and I believe in the same towel as Ainsley was in.

This is something Harper loves to do just about every night- pretend to "sleep" in Ainsley's big bed. She likes to get in bed with Ainsley and we say our prayers and I turn the lights out, shut the door and then I give them about a minute to "sleep". Then I come in and she happily jumps into my arms to be taken back to her crib, well, Bennett's crib but I plan to have her out of that and Bennett in the crib in another month or so- stay tuned for that!

  2. ADORABLE bath pics! I LOVE the one of all of them snuggled in Ainsley's bed :)
    Thanks again for the beautiful header!!! Is it hard to "stretch" out the header? I could do it if you just tell me how so you don't have to mess with it. Also, we had professional pics taken August 6th and hopefully sometime this week I am going to have the cd w/ the pictures, maybe I could use one of those on the header or have two headers and switch them up? I have NO CLUE how to make headers - how did you figure all of this out? :)
    Bennett's incision looks perfect - can you BELIEVE how fast they heal???!!!
    have a great day!

  3. Okay..I just love that picture of all three of them in the bed. Priceless!!! And the ones of them in their "after bath" towels.....they could be the same child!! So cute that you have one of these of each of them. I am so happy that Bennett is doing so well post surgery.

  10. I agree with all of the above! They are adorable and, in the towel pictures, you can really tell Harper and Bennett favor. =)

  11. Bennett's scar is hardly noticeable at all! He looks so cute in the tub. I seem to remember (waaaay back in the reaches of my memory!) that my kids liked it much better when they were actually in the tub rather than just getting a sponge bath. I always loved that look of a squeaky-clean baby in a hooded towel! Your three babies looks so cute lined up in the big bed! I'll bet Bennett's sisters don't spoil him at all, do they?!
