Because there will be several Wednesday and Thursday evenings when your Dad is taking a class in graduate school while your mom is working until 8 pm, I had to be brave and learn to give you a bath all by myself. I watched your Dad do it several times and even made notes because I knew if I forgot something I couldn’t leave you to go get it. Although this picture isn’t actually me bathing you, it does reflect how much you enjoy a bath! The first night I forgot a wash cloth & used your socks as a substitute. But the second night it was flawless. You laugh & smile all through your bath and it was really a fun time. One would think since I’ve lived almost 60 years now I would have learned most of the “first time things” I worry about are truly nothing to worry about. Maybe my next independent adventure will be to take you on an outing in the car, probably to the mall. Tomorrow you will be four months old; 1/3 of a year. Your 3-month size pajamas are getting too small! You will get your second round of immunizations on Wednesday. Every week when I go to your house there is evidence you’re getting older. Now you have a chair at the table waiting for you to sit in it & eat your first solid food. You are such a joy to hold. I’m going to do it all I can because before long there will be a tricycle waiting for you to ride and then a car waiting for you to drive….oh my! But one thing that will never change...your big smile and beautiful face will always be a part of you.
