Hey guys, based on the previous drabble and the info from a website, it turns out that Annabelle started her first smile a month late, but her first laughter a month earlier; I guess she's pretty much in the middle there. But there's nothing wrong or abnormal with her, really.
BTW, the Sweet 16 contest is still ongoing so submit your entries, ASAP! Remember that it ends at the end of April!
This drabble, should be enjoyed by all, so please enjoy...
Chapter 5: Bath Time is Fun Time
Annabelle Kadoya Love is now around 4 months old. And tonight is one of her bath nights, much to the little baby's dismay. Right now, Masamune has left for the day to visit his long-time friend, Ginga Hagane and his family. Frieda, who has her marigold hair in a French braid was wearing a white blouse with pink floral patterns, a baby blue knee-length skirt and pink ballet slippers. The Italian-Japanese woman chants to little Annie, "It's bath time, princess,".
The mother then held her daughter in her arms while setting the water in a tepid temperature. she was to be sure that the water's not too hot nor to cold since Annabelle was too young to deal with such extreme temperatures. Also, she decided to have her take a bath in a petite tub instead of a real one since she's too little and the mother does not want her to risk drowning.
"Alrighty now, Annie," Frieda chants as she gently places her baby girl in the petite bathtub. Annie was whimpering a bit so the marigold haired mother softly encouraged," It's okay Annie, but we want you to be clean as a whistle."
Then, Frieda gave the baby a yellow rubber duck for her to play while bathing. Annabelle squealed in joy as she was having fun with her rubber duckie, making the mother smile in happiness. Next thing is that the marigold haired mother had brought out Johnson's No More Tears Shampoo, which was an excellent choice since it's so safe and gentle and it will not sting the baby's eyes. She adds a palm full of the shampoo and gently scrubs towards the baby's red velvet hair. Annie giggled since she thought that sensation tickles her.
"I can tell you like it, don't you sweetie?" Frieda asks to her daughter. The 4 month old baby continues to giggle while playing with her rubber duckie.
The 23 year old mother also brought out a soft baby blue cloth and Johnson's Head-To-Toe body wash to clean the baby's face. Even though the soap was safe, the marigold woman tries to be cautious that none of the soap gets into the child's eyes, because it might cause discomfort for Annie.
After 5 minutes of cleaning and fun time, bath time was over and Frieda had Annie wrapped in a pastel pink soft towel. The baby then felt tired but had a little smile on her face. And, much to the marigold haired woman's surprise, Masamune Kadoya then showed up at the house.
"Hello Frieda, my love. How are you and Annie doing?" the Japanese man asks to his wife.
"We're fine and I just finished giving Annie a bath. I think she just enjoyed this bath time." The Italian-Japanese woman responds while holding Annabelle, who was asleep.
"That's really good to know, especially since Annie normally doesn't enjoy baths." Masamune remarks.
"That's true and I'm going to dress Annie for the night," Frieda states, smiling.
