Squeaky Clean

Excuse me...what are you doing on my chest?

I've always loved to take a bath, and I still do.  It's so refreshing and relaxing and not to mention totally hygienic!  For some reason I feel cleaner after taking a bath, even though a bath consists of sitting in your own soiled water.  (at least it's my own water, right?)
Growing up, I was only allowed to shower on special occasions, but baths were the norm. Supposedly, I would waste more water taking a shower, vs. taking a bath. Who knows?  For what ever reason, it gave me the love of the bathtub.  Thanks Mom!  I can remember during middle and high school I would lay in the tub every night and talk on the phone, mostly to my best friend Brandy.  Now I realize how much of a "not-so-good" idea it was.  I'm sure whatever or whoever we were talking about was SO important it couldn't wait til after bath time.  At least it was a battery operated phone...  As I said earlier I still enjoy taking a bath, but for some reason I think my tub has shrunk!  I don't remember it being such a snug fit.


I'm happy to say that my child has also grown a love for a bath!  But this hasn't always been the case.  I will never forget Karsyn's first bath.  It was HORRIBLE.  I was so excited that her cord had fallen out and I couldn't wait to bathe my first born.  I guess I was imagining her first bath to be enjoyable for all three of us.  That was NOT the case.  Her first bath was in the bathroom sink at 2.5 weeks old.  You would've thought we were killing her.  She screamed bloody murder.  The pictures are pitiful now that we look back on them.  It's funny, I didn't realize how puny she was either!  The puniness didn't last long...now at almost 5 months, my little Karsyn is a sweet little CHUNK!  We now look forward to bath time.  Her latest bathtime fun includes splashing.  It's so cute.  Below are some pics of our bath time journey.  It's neat to see how much she's changed...Enjoy!
