Baby's First Bath


We've been hesitant to give Ivy a bath because of how cold it's been and how long she'll stay wet, but were advised to go ahead and introduce her to the bathtub now. The implication being the longer we wait, the more likely she'll be to have issues.

At 46 pounds as of Friday, she's about 1/3 of her adult weight (probably). Believe me, that's a lot of stink to be wallowing around on my lap every day.


Michael and Sarah bit the bullet and bathed her last night. Poor baby was scared and shaking, but it was fast and not too traumatic.


With her fur all wet she looks like a hound dog!



Treats, as always, help any situation.



Lather, rinse, repeat.



Are we done yet, Daddy?



It took lots of towels to dry her off.



My lips are wet!


Are we done now?



All clean!
