Splish splash - no really this time!

I told you before how Cora has started taking real baths, but now I need to update you on all the new things she’s been learning.

On her first bath, she learned, of course, that she LOVES baths.

On her third bath – not her first or second bath, mind you – she learned not to poop in her bath. Poor thing – she just got so relaxed in the tub that she couldn’t help it, I suppose. However, it sort of defeats the purpose of a bath to have feces floating around in the water, don’t you think?

On her fifth or sixth bath, she learned how to make splashes by kicking her feet and flailing her arms. She thinks this is tons of fun and now does it every bath, all bath, so despite the fact that I bathe her before bed and use the lavender scented, baby calming, sleepy infant bath gel stuff in order to lull her to drowsiness before her last feeding, it’s quite a party in the tub these days.

It’s nearly impossible to be frustrated though, since it’s pretty much the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen.

I thought you all might want to see it for yourself. This is from the first bath that she discovered it, and it shows her honing her new talent, and then really working up to a good technique, keeping in mind that the most active part of this is actually her calmest level now!

Also, watch for her cute little tongue stick-out at around 29 or 30 seconds. Enjoy!
