Callum's First Bath

So last night the little bean had his first bath, given to him by yours truly. He both hated and loved it at the same time--I dont think he liked being wet . . .but he LOVED the nice lavender lotion his daddy put on him at the end. He went right to sleep after that . . .

The last two nights have been very difficult nights for Callum . . .not because of the sleeping and eating fiascos we face, but mostly because of the fact interleague play is on in the MLB, and the Red Sox are playing the Phillies. Callum feels a lot of pressure, because he likes the Phillies . . .but he LOVES LOVES LOVES the Red Sox. Its just hard to deal with the stress when he is so young . . .I say it just builds character . . .

Here he is, as pleasant as can be, getting stripped of his poppiness . . ..
He loved to have his back cleaned off and rubbed with lotion . . .just like his Uncle Jason did in high school when one time we . . .um . . .well, never mind . . .

As a side note, now that I am looking at this picture, I realize how I cannot wait til he can wear Carrharts, like his daddy. After all the fussing and crying and being wet and cold and exposed, Callum (immediately) became content after I dried him off and dressed him in his little pajamas . . .he went right to sleep in my arms . . .which, I have to say, is one of the most amazing feelings in the world . . .

And Thomas P. followed suit . . .
