I absolutely love the first photo.

I can see him thinking “my boob is over there, but my milk is over here….hmmmm”. He looks so unsure LOL! We had to introduce a bottle fairly early on, right at 2 weeks old, to be sure he would take one before I returned to work at 3 weeks old. This was the first one. Thankfully he’s done well with the bottle and goes back and forth easily. I was really worried because my body refused to respond with the pump with Teagan Jude and he was not a fan of bottles.

Technically, I guess his first bath was the day he was born since he was born in the water and then about an hour later he and I took an herbal bath together. But this was the first time we scrubbed him down after his cord fell off. My little water baby loved it. So did the paparazzi, we had lots of helping hands!
