First Sponge Bath at Home

At the one week mark, May 11th, Everett had his first full body sponge bath at home. Just before starting the bath his umbilical cord fell off. But I stuck to the sponge bath plan anyway and I am glad since it turned out to not be completely healed.

The first part of the bath was out on the counter.
Arms, legs,
torso, and pits.
Then, all wrapped in a blanket he had his hair washed.
He liked the scrubbing part - and who wouldn't?!
Before long he was sparkly clean and totally relaxed.
What a "first week-iversary" present!
