Baby loves bath time: {Amost} Wordless Wednesday

Hooded Towel c/o Little Lily
All I have to do is rub my fists against my chest (the sign for bath) or say the word "bath" and she laughs and kicks, knowing what's next.

Afterwards we always wrap up in a hooded towel. We have several, some with bears, some with her name but we have two favorites. Our favorite was gifted to us by Cora's mommy, it's special to us. We stop and pray for babies with CHD and their families when we use it. And our second favorite she's wearing above. It's so big, so soft, and so cuddly.

Everyone who comments on this post before Thursday January 20th will be entered to win a hooded towel of their choice from Little Lily.  Towels from this Canadian mama are made with bamboo which is naturally anti-bacterial, ultra-absorbent, eco-friendly and hypoallergenic. You can get up to ONE extra entry by either following Little Lilly on Facebook and tell her you saw her here, or if you're a subscriber/follower of this blog.

    I just came across your blog and I love it! :) Your daughter is beautiful! I read about Cora's Story. I couldn't imagine going through that.. so sad! We too have a favorite towel. It's pink with elephants on it! It's too cute :) I just wanted to leave a comment and let you know I am not a reader!

    Lil' J is sooo cute in that bath towel! I've been loving your pictures lately, too. They are absolutely precious.

    Just as an aside question from a first time mom, how many of those baby bath towels do you need? (Or how many do YOU have?)

    That towel looks so soft! My baby wouldn't mind one of his own.

    Lil' J is a cutie!

    What a sweet photograph! You do such a great job of capturing your daughters beauty and the moments of her life.

    I had a few of these towels when our daughter was an infant and loved them. I would love to give one to my niece who is expecting her 1st child in May.
