On the Tuesday after we got home from the hospital, Marc and I prepared ourselves to give Mallory her first bath. We decided to wait until aunt Lori got home from work (Lori, Mike, and Ivan were staying with us) so that she could help guide us as we did this for the first time. Because Mallory's umbilical cord had not fallen out, we couldn't put her in her infant tub and had to give her a sponge bath. We started at her head and worked our way down to her toes. Mallory loved getting her hair washed and was quite content. However, as we moved to her face and body, the crying started. Finally, we were able to finish and get her all nice and clean. After drying her off with her towel, we couldn't help but laugh at her peach fuzz hair that stuck up on end. How cute.
