Ellie's first day at the spa






We've discovered a not so nice smell coming from the neck of the baby that conflicts with that oh so sweet baby smell. A little bit of spit-up and some sweat in the neck creases is a recipe for a funky smell. I wondered how clean they actually get them in the hospital too after the journey into the world. So we decided it was time for a sponge bath. With assistance from Grandma it went pretty well. Baths might be Ellianna's favorite thing to do when she's awake (which isn't too often). We learned that before bed is not a good time becuase she loves them so much that she wants to hang out with her clean self for a long time after. Which made for a very late bedtime. Her umbilical chord has fallen off so now we make the move to the baby tub...we'll see how she feels about that.
