Yesterday was the first of many Big Brother/Baby Brother bath times! Quinn was so excited to be right next to Nash…and loved helping scrub him. Gotta love it…especially the 20 pruney fingers and 20 pruney toes that I got to kiss when they were smelling so Baby Magic fresh!…Mmmmmm! MMMMMMM! 
By the way…ever wonder why fingers get pruney in the tub!?!?! Here’s why!
{Thanks, Wikipedia!!!}…
The wrinkles that occur in skin after prolonged exposure to water are sometimes referred to as pruney fingers or water aging. This is a temporary skin condition where the skin on the palms of the hand or feet becomes wrinkly.
In recent past the common explanation was based on water absorption in the keratin-laden epithelial skin when immersed in water, causing the skin to expand and resulting in a larger surface area, forcing it to wrinkle. Usually the tips of the fingers and toes are the first to wrinkle because of a thicker layer of keratin and an absence of hairs which secrete the protective oil called sebum.
