"Happy Birthday part 2, 5-26-09"

We had an adventurous back half of our birthday celebration, which involved a diaper change, that led to a very wet dress, a total bed stripping and Mommy and Daddy running around (like two chickens w our heads cut off) looking for towels, more wet wipes and ultimately a trip to the bath tub! I truly wish I could have those few moments on tape bc even the recollection of the event makes me break into an out-loud giggle!!

We had been told repeatedly by multiple trusted sources to avoid bathing Georgea for the first couple of days so that she could settle in and learn to trust us, and that was absolutely our intent. And, the fact that she was placed into our arms so beautifully clean and well cared for made us happy that sticking to our decision would actually be easy. Day one....no problem. Day two....well, we goofed on the aforementioned diaper change and that really left us no choice. Much to our pleasant surprise Georgea loves the bath!! She went in with Mommy and smiled, splashed & giggled. Clearly this was not her first experience sitting in a tub full of water. This baby girl has truly been well cared for. What a blessing! When we realized how happy she was in the tubby we decided to go ahead and shampoo her hair while we had her in there. The shampoo went over like a dream, no problem, no resistance, just more splashing & playing while I shampoo-ed and rinsed. What an angel our little Georgea Luo-Luo is!

After the bath we headed downstairs for a low key dinner & the birthday cake surprise from Daddy. I've included photos from Tuesday of Georgea's first bath and first Birthday celebration.
