Francis: Day Five: The Bath

Francis had his first doctor's appointment today. He's already gained 3 ozs and 1/2 inch longer (though I'm not sure I believe that second measurement) and has been given permission to fly on Thursday. We also gave him his first sponge bath.


Pre-bath entertainment and research.


The books recommend washing from head to toe and unwrapping the baby as you go.


He didn't totally love it...


but there were contented moments...


and, of course, post-bath cuddling in the hooded towel.
