----------------------------------------------------------

Today was bath day. Bath time is the best time. Our daughter got
to take a bath first. She is so calm in the warm water. She
immediately relaxes and is ready to sleep. I tell her I'm going
to wash her hair and make it nice. I scrub her little head with
baby shampoo and she has her eyes closed and relaxes and I
massage her scalp. After getting scrubbed down she gets to relax
in the water and just enjoy the warmth of the water all around
her. She falls asleep every so often gets startled by my
movement. She throws her hands then they slowly fall, and she is
sleeping again. She is the cutest thing in the world. My wife
and I see how calm and relaxed she is and don't like to have her
get out, but she has been in the water near a half hour. 

Our son behaves very similarly to her. His eyes closed and his
body relaxed we can see his full length. Its nice to see him
calm because the last few days he has been fussy. I wonder
if he needs a bath more often. I'll try baths for them a few
times a week to see if this helps them relax more. 


Seven weeks they have grown so much. Our boy is nearly doubled
his mass since he came home. Both of them had good reports on
their hips. They are eating more and sleeping more.

No smiles while awake yet, we see them smile while sleeping and
they are really cute when they smile. I can't wait for those
smiles to happen. 


My son seems to like it when I read to him. Tonight I read a
sample of John Brunner's Dangerous Visions. As I read to him he
just looked at me. I don't think I'll read all of Dangerous
Visions the babes, but I'll probably pick some sci-fi book to
read. John Brunner's books are a little to close to the down
side of our society's reality. 

I hope to get all of us out of the house this week for fresh
air.
