Bathtime

I always love the pictures of my babies in the bathtub but I haven't taken many pictures of Genevieve bathing. There are a few reasons for this. First of all, Genevieve hasn't really liked taking baths and so, I give her fewer baths plus when I do bathe her they are either quick or I am holding on to her arm because it takes her a while to actually sit down as she needs and ease into it (if I force it either her body becomes stiff as a board or she arches her back)! Nev did used to like her baths and I am sure she will again but for now, we don't take them more than a couple times a week. I was glad when yesterday Gabrielle decided she wanted to take some pictures while I bathed Genevieve...

Wanting to get out though not protesting too hard

  

Playing with the water coming out of the faucet

  

 Getting a little more wet

  

Deciding it's okay to squat in the water :)

  

And, finally, all the way in...by now the water is way deeper than I would otherwise have it. I usually keep a hold of her arm fearing if she slipped and went under she'd put up more of a fight. But I let go for a quick picture. Sometimes she lets me put her in the bath seat but lately she wants to move around more in the tub once she's comfortable.

  

And, finally enjoying it and feeling comfortable

 

Gotta have at least one of these in her scrapbook :)
