First Bath

I tried holding off on Spencer's first bath at home because I didn't want to risk getting his umbilical cord and circumcision wet. But by Friday I decided I couldn't wait any longer my baby no longer smelt good and wanted my mom to be there to capture the moment for us before she had to leave.

Chris took charge and did most the washing according to how he saw it done in the hospital with cotton balls. Spencer loved when I rinsed his head under the running water. And Jared liked observing and helping where he could.
I wish I had more pictures of my mom and dad while they were down, but often she was the one behind the camera. I can't express enough how much I appreciate her and her love for me and mostly for the love she has for my two boys! She gave so much of herself while down and left me very prepared to meet my next stage of life. When she left and after a few friends visited the house was a little messy (not bad at all). I thought to myself, "now I have to pick this up!" And the sad thing is it wasn't even bad! Oh how I got pampered by my mother and I love her for it! Thanks mom, I love you!
