Bath time in our home is one of the most treasured and anticipated times of our day. Some days even include more than one bath due to finger painting, a spaghetti dinner, or even just because Adelyn is begging for another bubble bath – my girls LOVE the bath. It is a time for everyone to unwind, relax, and just enjoy the tiny moments.
We usually do a bath right after breakfast in the morning, as it just starts our morning off on the right note. The girls love to play with toys (plastic cups are their favorite), and if Adelyn begs enough we do lots of bubbles. We have been using Aveeno Baby Wash & Shampoo lately and I love how it smells and how it is working on the girls’ hair. We live in such a dry climate that Adelyn’s hair has always been brittle and dry. After just a few uses of this shampoo her hair is the most healthy it has ever been. I have always been a fan of using Aveeno on myself, so I was thrilled to know that they had a baby line as well!
Once the girls’ little fingers and toes start to prune, I wrap them up in towels. This is my absolute favorite tiny moment from our bath time routine. I love to hold each of them just for a moment in my arms and stare at their sweet little faces peeking out from the towels. It’s quiet, still, and calm–a moment that I just want to bottle up because our days become busy, chaotic, and loud once bath time is over.
I also use Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Lotion on their skin after their baths. Adelyn loves to help with this part, so I always share a little so she can rub it on her skin as well as her little sister’s. I love using this lotion on the girls (and myself) because it keeps their skin hydrated all day and I never have to reapply. It’s fragrance free, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly—filling all my requirements for a great baby lotion.
Bath time will forever contain some of my favorite tiny moments with the girls. From their very first bath, to the bath full of bubbles, or the one with water all over the floor from all the splashing, every moment with them is always treasured.
