Rub-a-dub-dub Daddy's got you in the Tub Matti!

Sunday Mattigan got her first bath from Daddy.  He did a great job.  Mama helped by peeling off all of Matti's leads, of which there are four.  There is one in particular that is big and super sticky.  Mama hates this one.  She'd rather hold her hand in a fire than peel those darn things off Mattigan.  Matti hates it and cries which makes Mama feel worse but it has to be done slowly because Matti's skin is still so delicate.

Then Daddy "helivac'd" Mattigan out of her bed and into her bathtub.  It was his first time lifting Matti out of her bed too - which he handled like a pro despite her size and the multiple tubes/wires you have to drag along.

The PT helped get Mattigan situated, showing Mama and Daddy how she uses a 'big' blanket to swaddle the baby in her bath.




















Next, the pampering began.  Mama was  a little jealous.  Daddy needs to rub her
hands and feet!  :)  Mattigan loved being spoiled by Daddy with her mani-pedi.  We're pretty sure Daddy enjoyed it just as much if not more than our daughter did.

Mattigan was alert and looking around the whole of bath time.  Mostly she stared at Daddy.  After Daddy got her out and dried off we took turns kangarooing.  It's adorable the way she'll be asleep on Daddy's chest then peek up at him when he talks.

 Like father,
like daughter.
