Eva has decided to be against good hygiene... at least for now. She spits, drools, makes messes in her pants, doesn't brush her teeth, and yells at Daddy when he bathes her. Oh well, she will learn.It was quite funny, the whole bath time thing. She'd cry, then we'd pour the warm water on her and she'd stop, then cry again, then water, then stop. It went that way for a while, so with Mommy and Daddy working together we managed to keep the water coming and scrub the funkies away at the same time. Sitting in warm water was just not enough for our bean. But she'll need to learn that until she's bigger, showers are for big people, baths are for tiny ones.
Eva hates being "nakey," I understand most babies do, but she's always warm. Often too warm and the sweaties make her hair all sticky, poor baby. Mommy has learned that sometimes just a diaper is best. Daddy encouraged this no-clothes thing, when Little Girl would wail for no reason while doing her favorite thing...riding in the car. I was afraid people would think we were bad parents for not dressing our kid, but Adam pointed out we would be bad parents for letting our poor baby over-heat! He was right of course, and so off we went with our "naked" child on a family car trip to Sonic. Mmm.. fruit juice slushy!
Mommy has since dressed her little girl in her diaper and just a ruffle-bum cover. It's pretty cute actually, and Evangeline loves being cool. Pictures of ruffle-bum to come...
Note: You will notice that Baby Girl is gaining good weight! Check the chubby cheeks coming in! Love it! So Hawkins.
I can imagine it would be cold and unpleasent having most of your body exposed to the air in the bath! Savannah never liked that part either.
