Attack of the Clippers
You better sleep with one eye open when this guy has nail clippers in his hand. We thought we would try cutting his nails when Nicholas was awake to make the transition smoother when he gets older, but he is just too squirmy. It is getting to be that time of year when everyday you…

Friends
