Bath Time

Yesterday Hayden was able to have his first bath now that his umbilical cord fell off. Tristan was pretty interested in the whole process and brought Mummy the soap, the washcloth and even got his hands in the water a little. He did want to keep adding more soap saying "more bubbles"! Hayden really liked the warm water... is there anything this baby doesn't like?!




If you are looking at these pictures and thinking, like we were, "Wow, he looks like he's filled out and gained a little weight" you are not wrong. We were all guessing what he would be at his pediatrician appointment today. Since Tristan didn't gain any weight for the first 3 weeks I was really nervous as to whether Hayden would fall into the 'Failure to Thrive' category too. Well, don't worry, we were at the pediatrician today and he weighs 7 lbs 11 oz!!! Last Friday he was 6 lbs 5 oz, that's a gain of 1 lb and 6 oz in only a week, or 3 oz a day!!! He's a piggy, I guess he's making up for starting out small!

The boys are just darling...and I must say I'm impressed with your blogging despite having a newborn in the house!

Would you believe I just met a six-week-old Hayden at a party tonight? I did...though he's not nearly as cute as yours! :)
