Rub-a-dub-dub























One of your first baths....mom and dad were much more nervous than you were. After the umbilical cord fell off we were set to go. Bathtime or "La hora de la duchita" is at the end of the day. Dad holds you and Mom washes. You seem to like the water, no fears or problems, even when water accidentally slides into your eyes. As soon as you´re able to sit up on your own we´ll add a rubber duck and some extra time for splashing.
