Baby Manicures

Motherhood is wonderful. Nerve-wracking, but wonderful. I need to grow some balls in some areas, such as clipping Riley's nails. I haven't been able to do it yet. So, I file them down. He is very patient when I do it, most of the time. I keep mittens on his hands, however, because he really likes to go for his face, especially when he's upset. And if his hands aren't covered he leaves long, red streaks on his delicate skin. But, I can't keep his hands covered forever (I do make sure he gets time without mittens on his hands - he likes to hold our fingers). I'm just hoping that the longer I wait, the stronger his nails will be. Until I'm ready, the baby emery boards are working pretty well.

In love,
