First Bath

Lexa loved her first bath! At first the water kinda scared her a little, but after she was put in she calmed right down and loved me dripping the warm water all over her. I think it reminded her of being in my warm tummy. She lost her umbilical cord stub just yesterday and I couldn't wait to give her her first real bath!!!




We are working hard to get her on a schedule. We are trying to feed her every three hours and play with her for a little while and then trying to get her to take a little nap after the playtime. The book I'm reading "Baby Wise" recommends this kind of schedule and it also recommends putting the baby to bed while still awake and with out any "props" (i.e. pacifier, rocking...) I think this is the most difficult part. We are still working on the schedule though, if it works then after a while she will go to sleep easier and this habit should last through her childhood if we stay consistent. Sounds like a dream, but right now its a lot of crying... :(
