Janelle's first bath

Daddy helped the nurse give Janelle her first bath. She absolutely loved getting her hair washed and brushed by her daddy. She however really didn't like the bath part. She was an unhappy baby.



Everyone meets Janelle

After everyone waited outside the hospital room with their ears up to the door for 2 hours they finally got to meet the new baby.
