Bathtime

For a baby who hated bathtime the first couple months of her life, Avery sure loves it now. Around 6:30 or 7:00 is her fussy time and is when we usually head toward the bathroom. As soon as we enter the bathroom and turn on the heater or water she calms down. In fact, this is the time of day when we get the most smiles out of her. Eric lays her on the counter and talks to her and tickles her and she just giggles and smiles.

In effort to save time, we usually bath the two of them together and then Eric takes one kid and I take the other. We try to switch off every other night. Noah gets dressed and goes to his room to read books and be put to bed, so he doesn't disturb Avery who is in the den getting a bottle and calming down before she goes to bed.


All smiles in the tub now.
