Clean as a whistle

The babies got their first tub bath tonight!  Overall, they did great.  Anaya fussed a little at first and Audie fussed a lot when it was over, but they seemed to not mind the actual bathing part.  In fact, Audie felt relaxed enough to morph into a fountain ;-)  Don't worry, we changed the water.  Here are some pics from bathtime:

A friend (shout out, Karen!) requested I post similar pics of Adam and the babies to compare, so here you go (In this order: Adam, Anaya, Audie)!  What do you think?

   

Personally, I think they are each their own.  Anaya has close to the same face shape as Adam and Audie has those forehead wrinkles more often, but no one matches that bottom lip of Adam's (I swear we didn't see that lip until he was six months old!) and neither one makes the faces Adam made as a baby.  They are all one-of-a-kind.  It will be exciting to see how this first year unfolds and how these new babies change.  Already, Audie's face is filled-out and his hair is lightening, as are Anaya's eyes.

I realized that I forgot to include a realization I had had in the story of Anaya's & Audie's birthday.  Despite delivering in an Army hospital and a Navy hospital (no luxuries here!), I have been pretty lucky.  I delivered Adam with a view of the Rocky Mountains and I delivered Anaya and Audie with a view of the East China Sea.  Seriously, how many people do you know who can say that?  (By the way, that's pretty much a rhetorical question - please don't post how many people you know who can say that.  I like feeling special.)  That's how we roll.
