Indian milking and Water Wheel

On Saturday, Brandon and I met up with his uncle Dan, aunt Gina and cousin, Charlotte. Dan and Gina were in town from Arizona. They were on their way back from a trip up the coast and had stopped for the weekend at an RV park in Malibu. The park looks right over the ocean, it's beautiful. They made us a delicious dinner and Gina treated Brandon and me to an infant massage class. She's a certified instructor and a great teacher. It was really interesting and fun. Massage is supposed to have many benefits for the baby and for the parents. We learned techniques to help improve the baby's digestion and combat gas. Massage will also help relax the baby and calm her if she's colicky. It's also supposed to relax the parent and aid in the bonding process. All I know is that the babies in the video Gina showed us looked super happy and I would most certainly be content to be massaged everyday. Ahem, Brandon.
