You're only allowed to give newborns sponge baths until their gross little umbilical stump falls off. Brind'Amour's finally came off a couple of days ago and so we finally were able to give him his first real bath tonight! He took it like a champ, though I figured he would as he has tolerated the sponge baths pretty well. He just sat in there staring at us as we tag teamed him with warm water and Burt's Bees baby wash. Then we got to wrap him in his little piggy towel to dry off. He was exhausted after the whole ordeal and is now sound asleep in his crib. Come to think of it, I'm pretty exhausted now too! Off to sleep...
