Valentine's Day baby Milk bath with Roses + XOXO mirror

Years ago when my daughter Stella was about 18 months old I set up a Valentine’s day milk bath for her and her cousin Siena in the bathroom bath. Strawberries were sold out so I put red rose petals in the bath tub and surrounded the area with candles. Check out that post here.

If you know me, I’m a fan of baby milk baths so I had to do one for my third child, baby Callahan! I invited his girlfriend over and we did a milk bath for her too. :) It was so fun

Callahan seems to have sensitive skin because after kissing him with red lipstick on my lips and putting him in the milk, his eyes got a little puffy and his legs were turning red. Not all babies react to milk baths this way, but mine did so I washed him off right after I snapped a few photos! Boy did Callahan splash a lot. It got messy fast and thankfully I had some helpers (my now 4.5 year old daughter and 2.5 year old boy) there to help. It’s always best to have some help with this kind of photoshoot!

I saw some cute photos online of mirrors with the reflection of a person writing on a mirror with lipstick and thought I’d turn this into a creative photoshoot. There should be a song about California babies are irresistible by Katie Perry because as you can see here, this bay area baby is the cutest boy in town. He’s got XOXO written all over him.

Contact me if you’d like to set a milk bath up for your baby, or yourself in a lifesize bathroom bathtub. Those are so much fun too!
