What's better than playing in the water, splashing around? Or using the colored foam soap? Or pretending to be a sister fish? The girls love their baths. Especially Selah (3) and Charis (4). But Raegan (4 mo)...for just the last month...has not been a big fan. NOR has she been a fan of seeing herself in the mirror. ??
But all that seemed to change a couple of days ago! She loved her bath AND her image in the mirror! (not MY favorite mirror reflection, as I just got off the treamil. but it was so cute of Raegan that I couldn't resist). She was really enjoying seeing that naked, smiling baby in the mirror!
The girls have also had a sudden change in the last couple of weeks. They now like washing their own hair AND leaning back in the water to "rinse" it off. Before, you couldn't convince them to even try...they were so afraid of getting water in their eyes.
Here Charis is...showing me how brave she is. "Just like Eli!" He's their 16 month old cousin that loves getting water in his face and is, essentially, fearless. They were motivated by him a couple of months ago when they saw him take his bath. Funny that he's so young, but was able to lead the way for my girls!
Coincidentally, in this picture Selah had just thrown water in Charis face. like you do when your sister is trying to prove superior braveness...you know, to test the theory I suppose. :) But Charis didn't budge. She was determined to be "brave"!

Aw, how cute! And the picture of you IS great because it shows a really happy lady. Joy is the best beauty product. :)
Look at those dimples on Raegan! CUTE!
That Raegan is TOO CUTE! It make me wanna tickle her belly. My very first thought was she was gonna box with her reflection. :) I think that might be my favorite picture so far!
How did I miss this post?
I love the picture of you and Raegan! Haven finally seems to enjoy the bath too - he went from screaming about bath time, to sitting stoically to splashing. It's much more fun now. He's always loved his image in the mirror - he flirts with himself. Seriously. Kisses himself if I let him get close enough.
I love babies.
