Daddy Care

So before Emmett joined us in this lovely world Ben took a "How to care for a Newborn" class. Let me tell ya- it has paid off for sure. Ben is in charge of changing diapers, burping and grooming Emmett's fingernails.

Here you see Ben ready to dive in and change a most likely poopy diaper. Life is like changing a babies diaper. You never know what you are going to get.


Baby fingernails grow really fast! Emmett likes to use his nails to scratch the heck out of his face (and sometimes my boob). Well, he probably doesn't LIKE to do it. He just has no muscle control. This is how Ben "cuts" Emmett's fingernails. He bites them. We read somewhere that you can use those tiny nail clippers (which are totally useless) or just bite the nails off. Aunt Sherry tried to use the nail clippers and gave Emmett his first cut.

Ben reading Richard Scary to Emmett. If I wrote children's books I would not want my name to have the word "scary" in it. Just sayin'.


What do you think Emmett is thinking about here?

Speaking of Scary, I don't think I'd want ANYONE biting my fingernails off!
