First Bath

Today we gave Micah his first bath (for us).  They take great care of them at the transition home, but I will have to say this boy was DIRTY.  You should see the ring he left in the sink!  Mommy scrubbed him down good and he didn't even seem to mind it too much, other than the time he bent down to take a drink and that didn't go too well.  He slept last night from 9pm, woke up at 2:45 and we patted him back to sleep.  He then woke up at 4am, had TWO 4 oz bottles, then went back to sleep until about eight.  We were thrilled to say the least.  Mary didn't think he would take more than 4 oz but he was still hungry so he downed another 4 oz.  It is hard for us to imagine why we shouldn't go ahead and let him eat until he is full. His little legs and arms are skinny and belly is a bit bloated from the malnutrition, but it doesn't stop him from running all over the place. He is very active and must always watch whatever activity is going on around him.  He doesn't like to sit still at all, but we are thankful that he is active and not real lethargic as they told us these kids could be.
