This is what we get after every bath. Shrieking and laughing and giggling! It’s hilarious!

Face bubbles!
He loves dunking his face in the bubbles!
Bath Bubble Beard
Owen has discovered that if he dunks his face into the water/bubbles, they stick to his face! Then he gets some in his mouth and realizes they don’t taste good. Lather, rinse, repeat. 🙂
Post Bath Chatter
He was doing this for a few minutes even before I grabbed the camera!
First I was recording, then Tom was recording—when you see me move behind Owen and kneel down, I was (of course) trying to stay out of the video, but mostly I had a hand on Owen’s back making sure he didn’t fall off the dresser because he was MOVING!
First tub bath!
We were at the hotel so he got a real tub bath—his first! (At home he still gets bathed in the baby/toddler tub on the kitchen island and other than that, it’s been the sink!) Needless to say he LOVED it—of course, since he’s now used to splashing in the pool! Throw in a ball or two and he could stay in the forever!
P.S. And look at all those teefers!!
A Weekend of Firsts
There were a lot of firsts for Owen this past weekend…
First (hee!) was his first long car ride—three hours north to Gramma Jean’s for his Grayling baby shower! (We tried to have it before he was born, but time just got away from us, plus it was winter…and we thought people would like to actually see him instead of just seeing me pregnant!)
Second, daddy took care of Owen during the night!! Tom and I slept in different rooms (it’s just very hard for us to both sleep in a double bed when we’re used to a king bed)…so one of us got Owen and one of us got Maggie. Tom was generous and took Owen, since he could sleep in! YAY!
Third, Owen got his first sitting-in-water bath (instead of just being soaped up and rinsed off):
Fourth, Owen had pictures taken outside! With ALL his grandparents! And his Grantie Marge (the name we came up with for Marge, since we couldn’t decide between Grandma Marge and Auntie Marge!)!! And his parents, of course. Since everyone was there for the shower—and it was SUCH a gorgeous day out—we decided (well, I strongly suggested) that we should take pictures outside!!
Grantie Marge Len, Grandma Marsha Hudson, Jen, Owen, Tom, Grandma Linda and Grandpa Mike Smith, Grandpa David and Gramma Jean Schwalm
Fifth, gramma Jean took care of Owen during the night!! I innocently asked if she wanted to and she said sure (that she could nap Sunday)!! OMG! YAY! So we moved the pack-and-play in there (where there was more room anyway :P) and mom and dad both had the chance for a good night’s sleep! Gramma confirmed the next morning that Owen is a little chatterbox all night long…well, not chatterbox so much maybe as a noisebox. 😀
And sixth, after a few weeks of maybe only pooping once every few days, Owen pooped THREE TIMES today! 88|
I had a first, too…after almost a glorious year of no periods (minus about the four weeks of post-delivery bleeding), my period started this morning. XX( Technically I should have been expecting it at any time, even though the books say if you are breastfeeding, it might be a LONG time before you got your period back… but I had just gotten SO used to not having it that it was a big surprise.
Owen’s First Bath!
Needless to say we were a little scared—the nurse made it look SO easy, bathing him practically one-handed and in about three minutes! Let’s just say we definitely need practice, and it’s a good thing he wasn’t that dirty!
