Last Friday, James and I gave Em his very first real bath.� We're talking full-on baby (sans head, of course) water submersion.� None of that sponge bath nonsense.� Boy did he love it! � He was quite a content baby if I've ever seen one.� The nurses at the hospital told James and I that babies only need about one to two baths per week, but there's no harm in bathing them more frequently if they're a fan of it.� Considering Emmett is a fan, I think there are many more baths in his future.

Due to the risk of embarrassing future Emmett, I debated about whether to post bathtime pictures.� Sorry Em, but it was really too cute to pass up, so I've included an edited version (I compromised).� After all, what are parents for?� (Future Emmett will just be happy I didn't post the video ....)
