Day 9: 12/23/2011 Part 1

Dear Conor,

Today you had your first bath.  You had your first bath because your Auntie Cathlin is arriving today and we didn't want you to be stinky!  Prior to today I had been giving you little sponge baths because your belly button and penis needed to heal before you could be 100% in the water.  Because we hadn't given you a bath I simply wasn't sure how you would react.  But - I should have known you would LOVE the water because both your Dad and I also love the water!

Your first bath experience.

Having a great time splashing your feet in the water.

All wrapped up after your bath.


The whole time that you were in the bath Hunter sat down at edge of the tub waiting for you to be done.
Hunter enjoyed seeing you in the bath and was thankful that he didn't have to join you (he does not always love the bath).  He followed us into your room after your bath and stayed there while you were getting dressed.

After your bath you fell asleep and stayed that way until Auntie Cathlin arrived.  Auntie Cathlin was so excited to meet you and couldn't wait to hold you.  She also loved taking your picture!
First time being held by Auntie Cathlin

She loved you from the first moment she saw you!
Having Auntie Cathlin here was a great help.  She held you and loved on you so that I could get things done.  I got all the laundry done, the dishes done, the last of our gifts for family wrapped and thank you cards written for gifts you received since you were born.  I tried to get your Aunt to move in with us and be your Nanny but she said she had to go back to Boston and to her school - but I did try :)

Auntie Cathlin reluctantly had to give you up later at night because your Grandpa Tom and Uncle Justin came over to visit with you for the first time!  More on that visit soon!

xoxo
Mom
