Bethany's First Real Bath

I know you can give a baby a real bath and not a sponge bath as soon as their umbilical cord falls off, but since my babies are so little I like to wait just a little longer until they have put on a few pounds and don't seem quite so vulnerable. Yesterday was Bethany's big day, and she seemed to do alright and mostly enjoyed it.

Bethany never drops her "fighting stance"....

....but it's hard to effectively intimidate your opponents when you can't control your punches.

Sweet little girl drying off. And for the sake of comparison...

This is Emmett in August 2010 drying off from his first real bath. Can you tell they're related? :)
