Bath time!

Neither Brooke or I have ever given a newborn a bath before - so Jax definitely had to display some patience. Similar to his first bath, he likes the water and soap on the head... and not so much on the body.

I drew rinsing responsibilities.


X-man has a bit of diaper rash... so the nurse suggested giving him a few minute "bath" with his butt sitting in soapy water. Not only did he like this, he also managed to avoid peeing all over the kitchen while sitting in warm water.


After the bath, Jax spent a while in this towel made by Grandma Graff. He was as content as could be.


Once warm, it was time to air dry. Wyatt assumed his evolutionary Yorkshire role as watchdog. Or, maybe he just wanted to get in on some of the Desitin cream coming his way. Since that's a still photo and not a video, just know that this is probably Jax's #1 preferred sleeping position.


The nurse stopped by again today and reported positive results that Jax is back up to his birth weight (they want this to happen at least by the end of week 2). She also said that his minor jaundice is almost completely gone. I think Jax will miss the natural base tan that he had before.
