The first (official) bath

I say "official" only because this is the only bath in which the camera accompanied Addie into the bathroom. We sponged her down a couple times, gave her a partially-submerged bath in a dish tub, and finally gave her a full-out bath very much reminiscent of this one. But I think that we both felt a little bit better calling this one the first bath since it comes with pictures. It seems like one of those "baby firsts" that you should have photographic evidence of.

She really took it quite well, despite the somewhat bewildered look on her face. She was rather calm in the water, which was nice. The conveniently-positioned washcloth in the third picture was more for keeping Addie warm than keeping her covered, but I'm sure that it'll save some embarrassment by not posting the au natural pictures. I'm sure she'll thank us later.


That second picture reminds me: Ame and I both think that Addie has just about the cutest chubby belly ever. Ame actually squeels at times when she sees it.

Addie is doing well. She's up to over 10 pounds, and her head has grown a full inch in circumference since she was born. She's actually in the 95th percentile for her weight and around the 85th percentile for her length (i.e., 95 percent of babies [or maybe just girls] her age weigh less than she does, and 85 perfect are shorter than she is), which means that she's eating well. Our baby isn't fat: this is a case where bigger is actually better.

I guess that's all I have for the moment. Until next time...
