During bath time we put up our child/doggie gate to keep Luca out of the bathroom. This really bothered Luca and he went a little crazy. We don't know if he was upset because he was separated from us or if he was concerned by Ava's loud crying...I like to think he was concerned about Ava, but probably not.

BATH TIME
Now that Ava's umbilical cord fell off we can give her real baths. We bought a soft bath chair for Ava to sit in and we gave her a proper rinsing in the bathtub. I was hoping this would make bath time faster, warmer, and more enjoyable for Ava, but it didn't. Ava did get clean and smelled great, but she didn't enjoy it. She screamed almost the entire time and didn't calm down until we dressed and fed her. I felt bad, but she is going to have to get use to it. Rich and I are trying some different tricks to try and make it faster and less stressful. I'm hoping eventually Ava will learn to like bath time.

I bought one of those chairs too. I gave up on it. I think they get cold too easily. We ended up bathing Grayson in the sink most of the time, and he loved the shower! I think he it was warmer there.
Hugs,
Ezra totally screamed through his first real bath. Now he seems to tolerate them until we get to his hair and face. Also, that frowny face in the towel is super cute. It sounds awful but we love it when Ezra gives us his big frown with a little whimper.
I used to put my baby in a bouncy seat for a minute while I showered, then pull her in with me. That way we both were warm and I got more than a two minute shower. Sometimes Amara would even fall asleep in there. The tricky part is drying everyone off after without one of you freezing... You'll figure something out!
