A photo can't always accompany many "Milestones" - like a first smile, which probably won't come right when a camera is poised and ready. But, the first bath was definitely a Kodak moment. Even got some good video. We had to wait until his umbilical cord completely fell off before we could submerge him in water. For some reason, the books like "Baby 411" say to give a baby his first bath just before a feeding. So, once he got all riled up and fussy and hungry, we drew a bath in the little tub that Kelley loaned us, which was also used for Riley and Reagan. Kathy and I took turns bathing and doing camera duties.
We were actually able to get a clear view of the big fireworks show that went on at Joe Pool Lake. I mean, it's not like we can see water from our house, but we are much closer than I thought to the peninsula at the fork of the lake where the show originated, across the water from Lynn Creek Park. Got a clear sight line between houses when standing on our deck looking south and watched the show - plus the occasional stray bottle rocket or Roman Candle flare nearby from the neighborhood drunks.
just so precious, I only think of these moments with the boys when I see pictures of new parents having them for the first time themselves. Its hard to think that you are having all these firsts with your new baby, and I am about to watch mine walk down the isle! Congrads to both of you. I am just so happy for the two of you. Love the NC gang
ReplyDeletewhat a great picture!! It is so crazy to think you are having all the first in life, and I am about to watch my 1st born walk down the isle. Never thought our kids would be so far apart in age! Congrads to both of you, he is a beautiful boy, we all wish you nothing but the best.

Thanks a lot. It took some of us a little longer to mature and be ready for the grown-up world. Some day I hope to get there myself.
ReplyDeleteI wasnt aware that I was mature yet myself ;) hehe, my oldest my be 25 but I am still living his age in my heart, and I keep trying to convince myself that I am a "cool" mom, they however keep correcting me, seems I am just "mom" with no cool left in me. Let's hope Kole always knows how cool his mom and dad are.
