Kale's first bath

I haven't written about Kale's first bath yet and I wanted to because it was definitely an experience. We went for his two week check up and the doctor looked at the umbiblical cord and told us to only put the alcohol on it twice a day now and showed us how to kind of play with it when putting the alcohol on I guess to speed up the process or to help it fall off. That night when Kale woke up for one of his feedings I went to change him. I was exhausted and half awake and started to undress him when something caught my eye. I noticed the black cord was no longer on his belly button ofcourse that was enough for me to become wide awake. I ran in the room and told Ryan. I was so excited for the next day because I knew we could give Kale a real bath. He loved his little sponge bath so I was sure he would love the real one even more. My sister had bought us this really neat baby bath. Well when I got it out it seemed a little different than what the normal baby bath looked like but it was so cool. We tried to give Kale a bath in it but we weren't allowed to fill the bath with that much water and it was elevated in a way where he kept sliding down the whole time and I think it made him feel really insecure. He cried the whole time. I felt so bad for him and began to wonder if maybe he didn't really like his bath. Well we ended up going to walmart and getting the normal old average baby bath that you could fill with water and he lays on a hamock. I was curious to see if it was the baby bath or the actual bath that he was not enjoying. We gave him a bath the next night in his new bath tub and he absolutely loved it. He gets scared at first I think because the hamock is cold but once you start pouring the water over him he is the happiest baby in the world. He makes cooing sounds and tries to eat his hand the whole time. When we go to wash his face he opens his mouth to eat the rag. It is so cute. It never fails right when we put him in he pees. It is the funniest thing ever...we just kind of wait for it. The other night when we took pictures of him happy in his bath, I heard him poot, right as I was saying he better not poop in his bath sure enough..poop comes out of his little butt. We had to grab him clean out his bath and start all over the whole time Ryan and I are laughing so hard. I absolutely love being a mom. My son is so wonderful and I enjoy just being able to make memories and enjoy the cute little baby things he does. It is so rewarding.
