Many firsts. First bath, included. Maeve seems to be enjoying herself and surviving day to day despite our best mess-ups as amateurs. She's sleeping a little more these nights, which for us is some small victory. When she's not sleeping, we occasionally get to see a sweet face and big blue eyes that are staring all over, taking in the sights. I find myself wishing I could someday ask her what she was thinking about during all her daydreaming stares in these early weeks; given our anxiousness as new parents, it's strange knowing that she will likely not remember any of these moments. The pictures we have accumulating will be the only things she'll have to look upon. Maybe it's good she won't remember... maybe by the time her memory kicks in, we'll seem like we know what we're doing.
Maeve looks like she enjoyed her first bath about as much as Ben! I think it's an infant rite of passage to scream though it. I also believe that new parents learn about as much at infants in the first year! :)
