When Tori was born, I couldn't wait to swaddle my sweet smelling baby girl in a fluffy hooded towel after a nice bath. Instead ,baths turned into quite an ordeal for the first few months, because we had to unhook the oxygen, take the stickies off her face, bathe her quickly so she didn't get chilled....it wasn't exactly what I imagined bathtime would be like. Eventually though, she got bigger, and stronger, able to breathe on her own and now enjoys her nightly bath quite a lot. The first picture is from early August '08, shortly after she came home from the hospital. The doggy towel is about 2 months later, and the two pictures after that are Tori and I just after tonight's bath! So you can see how far she has come- it is really amazing how well she has grown. That last picture is also an early one, and notice she is barely filling out the hood- now it fits her head almost perfectly. The doggy hooded towel is almost too small now- but it's still so cute! One thing hasn't changed in these 8 1/2 months: check out that terrified expression on her face- she is not a fan of the camera flash or the red eye reduction light..... the smiles you see on film are ones not easily caught, so enjoy! Of course, she is much more relinquishing of her smiles with actual people, as opposed to the camera. Thank Goodness- her smiles are the highlight of my day!
