One thing that surprised me when Maxwell was born was how long his fingernails were. Luckily my sister-in-law had given me some baby emery boards before he was born and told me to take them to the hospital with me (thanks Jen!). I was so glad I did. The first night in the hospital, his sharp little fingernails managed to completely scratch up his face. We filed them down the second day and it made a huge difference.
We’ve even had to file them a couple more times since he’s been home. Guess my boy likes a good manicure! Now he’s got nicely filed fingernails…
and toenails too!
Just to be sure he doesn’t scratch his face again, we’ve kept him in the onesies that have the finger covers. Genius idea! The ends of the sleeves fold over so his little fingers can’t get out and do damage to his sweet face.
Good job on the nails but even better is the shot of his little feet – perfect picture!
Precious shot of his little fingers also!
he looks precious. 🙂 love him!
Wow you have more patience than me! Look at that manicure! Maxwell’s looking good!
hee hee look at those little hands!
