She'd had sponge baths, but that was her first one immersed in water in the tub. We were told not to immerse her in water until her umbilical cord stump had fallen off, and it took foreeeeever.

Bean is just too adorable for words. I'm so glad you share her pics here, Choclatl.

We'll see how you feel babysitting the grandchildren, while Bean jets off to god-knows-where with her 9th husband.

Choco, that's interesting about the umbilical cord. Over here it's recommended to wash the baby thoroughly (umbilical cord stump and all) from about the 2nd or 3rd day. Max's cord took a fair while to come off. Eva's was off within a couple of days. Not sure why it was so quick, but I'm thinking maybe because she was full term and it was time? Who knows. In any case, I was happy. Those things are ugly! lol

I was 7 when my brother was born. I helped to care for him every day. A few days after his stump fell off, I asked my mom when the "other extra piece" would fall off.
"What extra piece?" she asked.
"The wrinkled baggie behind his peepee!"
My parents had a good laugh over my rudimentary knowledge of human anatomy.

At least it is slowly shifting over to genitalia.
