Better Baths

I discovered, by accident actually, that Noah is very happy in his bath with a blanket.  He is not happy (screaming) without that blanket.  See below:
I made this wonderful realization after Noah peed in his towel immediately after getting out of his bath. So I just dropped him back in the tub, still wrapped in his (pee-soaked) towel. To my surprise, he was nice and calm! So now this is how Noah bathes. This is how we bathed Nate in the NICU so that he wouldn't get too cold--I only wish we would have done this earlier for Noah.
I had planned on writing a nice long post, but since Noah has already started his evening nursing marathon and I have to type one-handed, I'll just comment on the apparent chub that's becoming visible on this boy. He now weighs over 10 pounds and his cheeks are finally starting to show it!

  1. Fabulous! I will borrow your trick.

    Noah is darling, and the chub is great.
