Bath Time!

Although Luke has still not lost his cord (see prior post for details), Dr. Tolcher told us we could go ahead and give him a real bath rather than still just continue the sponge baths, we just needed to be careful not to submerge his belly and soak his cord. I was glad to finally get that little bottom soaking in some soapy water!

We did not buy a baby bath tub because my mom always bathed our foster babies in the kitchen sink and she convinced me it would just be one more thing to find a place to store. So I just lined the bottom of our bathroom sink with an old towel and he fit perfectly! As I mentioned in the one month post, Luke loves his baths and having his hair washed and I like getting rid of the milk-in-his-neck-chub smell, so it works well for both of us!
