Daddy Time

Rich is a great father. He loves to spend time with Ava and is willing to do it all...change diapers, feeding, laundry, etc. The only weird thing is he likes the smell of spit-up on her. I often catch him sniffing her neck where the formula came back-up. It is kind of cute, but oh so weird.Today while Rich was holding Ava he gave her Eskimo kisses. This is something I remember my parents doing when I was younger and was happy to see Rich rubbing noses with Ava.

It is good to see you guys with a beautiful baby now. I don't know if this will be helpful or not, but we were given two bathtubs for our baby. One was a sling just like yours and our baby hated it and screamed. The other is a big white plastic tub from Babies R Us. it is called Euro or something like that. He loves that tub because he actually sits down in the water and stays warmer. It has a small line to tell you how full to fill it. I use it on the kitchen counter and use a pitcher to fill it up with warm water. I don't know if Ava would like that tub better or not, but I know our baby does. Congratulations. She is adorable!

Oh, I forgot to tell you that one side of the tub is molded for a newborn to lay back in and the other side is for an older baby to sit up in. Several moms have told me their babies love this tub, too. The only drawback is that it is huge and more slippery. I lay a small towel in the tub before I put the baby in and that has solved the slippery problem. And the part about it being big I put up with because my baby loves taking his baths now. Isn't being a mom rewarding!! And of course it also very tiring!
