At the clinic where Sarah delivered Alexandria, there's a nursery area with several sinks where the nurses and parents change their child's diaper and bathe them.
On Saturday morning, during my daily visit to the clinic, Sarah and I learned how to bathe Alexandria. She didn't mind getting in the water at first - she seemed to like the warmth. But as we started rubbing her and poking and prodding her, she started crying. We also learned how to clean her eyes, nose and ears and around her umbilical cord.
And yesterday, on Sunday, I changed my first diaper - and then did another one in the evening! Two diapers on my first day of diaper duty! Well, so far, this task has been easy - there's been no poop yet - so there's not really a big mess inside to clean up.

I think when Lexi 'smiles' she looks like her mom; otherwise, like her dad.
