I know I've mentioned in previous posts how much Juliet enjoys bath time, so I thought I'd share some pictures from her bath tonight. She is so much fun to bathe. She talks and laughs and makes faces that show how excited she is. You can't bathe her and not feel better than you did before you started. My days have been pretty long this week, but bath time makes the long hours at work and the stress of functioning as a single mom totally melt away. It's reason number five million that I love her and am so, so, so glad we have her. She's so good at providing perspective on what really matters: family.
Bath time is also a good time to notice how much hair she's starting to get. She's still got about 15 long hairs on the crown and a funny little baby mullet in the back, but she's starting to get real hair all over the rest of her head. It's fine and dark and soft. And it sticks up in the middle kind of like a mohawk right after a bath.
We do a good bit of snuggling these days. She is very snuggly first thing in the morning, and she wants to snuggle around her 7:00 PM feeding, too. Her sense of touch is something that she's really become aware of, and it's most evident during these snuggle times. She will sweep her hands back and forth against your skin or shirt, and sometimes, she'll do the same thing with her feet. It is the sweetest thing to feel her just softly brushing your arm or shoulder. I think it must also soothe her because she does it when she's fighting sleep, too.
One more gratuitous picture of the happiest baby I know:
