Fresh Year...Fresh Baby

We were finally able to give Micah his first bath the other night after waiting 5 weeks for his umbilical cord to fall off! He did pretty well overall...much different than his big brother's (Reid) first bath. Micah does NOT like to be naked and just shivers and cries when you take his clothes off to change him or put a new outfit on. But, the second we got him in the warm water and covered him with a warm cloth he was happy. He got a little more fussy when we started to actually wash him.

The picture above is actually from a week or so ago. We were going to cheat and attempt to give him a bath with his cord still on (being careful not to get it wet). However, when we opened his diaper we noticed that his little "manhood" area looked super inflamed and red and we thought maybe he had gotten an infection from his circumcision so we decided to wait on the bath just in case.

We took the cloth off to wash him....cue the screaming...

 His hair gets curly when wet....
