Miranda’s First Bath
Miranda lost her umbilical cord stump last week, and was ready for her first “official” tub bath today.* A fitting milestone as today she is 3 weeks old! Halfway through the bath, Meema remarked that it really does take a village. So true! Natalie was a big helper, (Miranda’s feet are really, really clean!) Meema assisted with equipment and rinsing, and PopPop took these lovely photos.
Miranda isn’t so sure at first
Happier… ….with a warm wash cloth over her belly
I think she likes it!
Natalie helped wash her feet Miranda seemed to love having her hair washed.
Big rinse No tears at all!
So cold!! She definitely did not like coming out of the warm bath into the cold air.
Hello there! Miranda’s hair is curly when wet!
Happy to be warm and dressed!
* I say “official” because when Miranda was just 1 week old, she did have a poopsplosion to huge that it required being rinsed off. Wipes could not have handled that amount of poop. But for Miranda’s privacy’s sake, we didn’t take pictures of that. Aren’t you glad?
OMG. She is a gorgeous baby. Virtual kisses to Miranda!!!
