This weekend was a big weekend for Reed. He had his very first "real" bath and celebrated turning a whole month old! Reed's umbilical cord didn't want to fall off for a while, and you're not supposed to bathe them until it's gone. You can however give them sponge baths, which I did. It finally fell off around 3 weeks old, I think he was waiting till we were past his real due date to finally let it go.
I have to say, I was a bit nervous giving him a bath and maybe thats why I waited so long! We pulled the space heater in the bathroom and gathered all of our supplies. He didn't exactly enjoy it, but we got him nice & clean. He did however manage to throw up about 4 times later that day, so we're back to needing a bath again.
This one breaks my heart-"OMG Mommy, what are you doing to me?!"

Of course Lena had to get a bath too!

She's pretty good about getting a bath, she tolerates it. Although, we all know she can't swim, so the water has to be very shallow, haha. Poor little dog.
aw! he's so adorable sitting in the sink, so little. wow,a month already, time flies! hope to meet him soon!
