Harper LOVES to be naked. Diaper changes always put a smile on her face so you can imagine how happy she is to take a bath. She has liked baths since day one (literally you could tell she loved her first one at the hospital) so bath time is the highlight of her day. As she is getting older, her bath is getting deeper. At first we were so nervous about her face getting near the water or her slipping. But now that she is getting older, bigger and stronger, we are much more relaxed during her baths. She loves deep water - the deeper, the better! She kicks and splashes and by the end of the bath our counter is one giant puddle. She even loves getting her hair scrubbed and then rinsed. We typically let her play for a few minutes after she is officially cleaned up - she gets so excited to kick and slap the water and doesn't even mind when it lands on her face.
However, there is one big downfall to bath time..... getting out of the tub. We immediately place her in a soft towel and begin to dry her off so she doesn't have time to get chilly. Even so, every bath time results in a major tantrum. She cries and cries until she is diapered and dressed. In the scheme of things, a few tears are worth the joy that bath time brings!
