Already four months old

Hugo was around two months old when Kristian and I started to shower him. Kristian does it more than I (as I get to bond with Wolfie while breastfeeding), but it's something we all thoroughly enjoy.

At first I was surprised. He took so well to the shower and would briefly cry if water splashed on his face, but has since learnt to trust us and even tilts his head back towards the spray to wet his head. It's so damn adorable.

After Kristian showered tonight, I handed him our bare babe and while preparing Hugo's towel and pyjamas watched them together. They were unaware I was doing so, which made the scene even the more touching.

The two of them look so natural and similar together with fluid movements and a simple routine. Kristian was confident in what he was doing and his hands looked so big against out little baby's body. There were no tears or panic (on either end).

After his body was wet, Hugo's chubby little arms held onto his Dad while he leant back to wet his hair. I then watched as Kristian raised him near the head of the shower so Hugo could feel the jets on different parts of his body. He cooed, squealed, waved his arms and kicked his free hanging legs in excitement. This merely encouraged his Dad, who proceeded to make silly noises and that's when the laughter began.

Hugo turned four months old last week and I'm so proud of us all, especially our baby who's rapidly changing into such a strong, social and happy little boy.
