First bath!


Once Felix's cord stub fell off, we were excited to get him into his first bath! He didn't cry at all when we submerged him in the lukewarm water, and appeared to actually enjoy the activity. He busily sucked the water off of his hand while Alex scrubbed him down. When we pulled him out of the tub, he expressed his disapproval by screaming his head off. I think the air felt cool on his moist skin, but once he was clean, dry, and in a warm pair of PJs, he was happy again. And hungry. He is such a good eater - Great Grandma G would be proud. At his pediatric visit on Monday, he weighed in at 9 lbs 4 oz and is now 21 1/4 in! That's quite a growth spurt from his birth weight and height (7 lbs 9 oz, 19 3/4 in), and he's not even 3 weeks old yet!
