Bathtime bits


*Every time I give one of the boys a bath, and am lotioning them up afterward, I think about how one pump of lotion can either do Ben's arms, or Ben's legs, or Ben's front, or Ben's back... OR, Matt's entire body. :)
*It is difficult to comprehend just how much lint a tight-fisted baby can harbor in his hands (or between his toes, for that matter).
*What prompts me to bathe Matt is his hair getting greasy enough that it lays flat instead of being fluffy and cute. So he gets a bath 2-3 times per week. Ben got a bath EVERY day when he was Matt's age. In retrospect, I think it was just something to DO with the little guy.
*Bathtime is one of my favorite times with a tiny baby. I get to inspect (and scrub) each little roll of chub, and the little guy comes out smelling so good! Both Ben and Matt enjoy their bath. Just wait till they can take a bath together...

Side Note #2: I rotated this picture to be viewed vertically THREE times. Each time I uploaded it, though, it turned on its side. Annoying.

I love fluffy haired babies. That is the same way I judge bath time for Addy...greasy/no fluffy hair and lint! Or if she decides to desecrate her diaper of course ;o) Cute baby boy!

Yes, they'll have so much fun together in the bath one day!

I don't think the boys ever take baths separately now. Its VERY cute. I only ever gave my kids a bath about twice a week. But there is something about that sweet fluffy hair like you said. And I agree, what's with the lint?
