Carolyn keeps scratching her face no matter how often I trim her nails. I'm wondering if I should try filing them too? Even when they're short they sometimes still have sharp edges. I'm also worried because she has her hands in her mouth 24/7 and I don't want her to scratch inside her mouth.

Calli is doing it BAAAAD! She will scream at the first site of anyone other than her dad and I. It sucks when she does it sometimes....like last night at DH's hockey game when my best friend tried talking to her. I could not get her calmed down after that for quite a while.
