Rub a Dub Dub...

It was a nice, quiet Saturday for us at the Shelfer household. But something loomed in the background...the inevitable first bath for Avery! She wasn't a big fan of her bath in the hospital so we knew it was going to be an ordeal for her. She did pretty well though; she cried for only half the time and was good the rest. We'll see if she ends up liking baths once we can use the infant bath tub instead of a sponge bath.

Sleeping peacefully with Mom...little did she know!
She was not a big fan at first and she actually peed a little
Still not a big fan
Calming down- she likes to have her hair done:)
Trying to self sooth and get through the ordeal
No more crying...for at least a minute
Much happier once she was wrapped up in her towel
After getting her jammies on she was sleeping peacefully once again
Trying to block out the memory of her first bath!

Mandi,

Congratulations on a beautiful baby girl! Avery is just precious and sure wish I were there to hold her! Enjoy these first days together. They grow up so quickly. We are praying for all 3 of you!
