Ever since Olivia has been born, she has always loved being in the water. When we were ready to give her her first bath, we were preparing ourselves for her to be scared and crying and cold, and she just sat there and let us do our thing, and even take a few pictures. Here she is at a week:
At the time, we were living with Dominic’s parents, and we had the entire attic to ourselves, it was a nice little setup, and sometimes, though small, I actually miss it. Olivia’s first home, her first room, our first place as a family of three, kinda nostalgic thinking about it all. Anyway, we had a half bath up there and as a gift from our baby shower, we received this little baby spa (that we registered for because I wanted it SO bad!) and that was where we gave her all of her baths. Here she is at 6 months:
(Oh my goodness, these pictures are making my heart melt and I haven’t even gotten to present day.)
We used that little pink tub until she was about 8 months, and then when we moved in our town home, we used it for a few weeks until one day I just decided to put her in the sink. It was easier on my back, big enough for her to move around in, and bonus, I could load the dishwasher and clean up the kitchen all while keeping an eye on her. And if you’re wondering, we have introduced her to the regular bath tub, and sometimes we’ll put her in there. If we’re in a really huge hurry, I’ll take her with me in the shower, or, I’ve even gone in the bath tub with her and just relaxed while she played…can you say MomWin? However, while all of those options work just fine, I still mainly go with the kitchen sink because I like to kill two birds with one stone. Clean baby and clean kitchen all at once. Boom.
Okay so this next set of photos….I’m warning you now, you are probably going to die because of all the cute. At least you will have died happy, right?
…told ya.
This little girl has such a love for water (just like me), even pool water, and I hope she never grows out of it.
Happy Wednesday!

Oh Hey Baby
