Fingernails

Are currently the bugbear of my life. Little Taf has really sharp nails. He loves to try and scratch his eyes out or shred his face. I also get the brunt of it when I'm feeding him. Especially if he pinches the part that feeds!
I've tried baby nail clippers. This ended up with Lil Tafs first cut which bled profusely and almost made Mummy throw up. I've tried biting the nails, but my teeth are too crooked to bite something that small. Scratch mitts are a waste of time. I have even resorted to emery boards, but this just makes them sharper. Does anyone have any bright ideas?
On the cute side, lil Taf is now sucking his thumb. Not so cutie cutie is his tendency to hold on to poos for 3 days.

Baby Update

Little Taf is doing well and getting cuter by the day. He is now in his big cot as the Moses basket seems to be getting a little small. He looks lost in the cot, but he loves his mobile. He is also in 3-6 months clothes. Not bad for a 6 week old. I think he may be quite tall. Hopefully he will take after his Dad and be lean too.

Nappy Brain

Baby Taf had to go for an ultrasound on his hips as he was breech. Mummy was all organised and Daddy took time off work to take them. When we got to the hospital, Mummy had got muddled with an appointment we have at the end of the month. So we ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. We had already missed our appointment. Luckily they were able to fit us in and Baby Taf has perfect hips. Perhaps I should have got them to scan my brain to see where it is.
On the positive side, it has just been me and Baby at home for 4 days now and I've managed to get a shower every day so far. A major accomplishment.

Being a Mum

Is rather lovely. Especially when a warm, milky baby falls asleep on you. It's also lovely to watch daddy playing with Baby. I thnk they're going to be great mates. Little Taf already has his first rugby ball, thanks to his grandad. I wonder when he'll get his first windsurfer.
