Dad trimming his baby girl's toenails for a spa day is the sweetest thing on the internet
Baby toes are already adorable.
Add in a cute-as-a-button baby clad in a white robe with a funny father who makes the baby giggle with some barking dog impressions and a teeny-tiny nail file and you're on your way to a viral video.
Jimmy Howell gave his 9-month-old daughter Kensley a spa day with a pedicure.
The dad captured what he called "weekly spa talks with my girl" on Instagram less than a week ago with two short videos and they've already racked up nearly 11,000 likes.
The grooming sessions, both finger and toe nails, are weekly and the duty falls to the 30-year-old dad and New York City firefighter, Howell told USA TODAY.
"Her mother is afraid to do it," he said. "I guess I'm not because I started early."

Kensley celebrated her 9-month birthday on Monday and father and daughter have been making lighthearted videos primarily on Howell's Instagram stories. The spa day video was the first time he decided to share a video on his Instagram page. Oprah Magazine on Instagram shared the video where it no doubt received thousands of views and 21,000 likes. "This is what love looks like," the caption read.
The growing fame of the video surprised Howell.
"I honestly don't know why it's gotten so popular," he said, adding that if he had to guess – and his fatherly pride is showing just a bit here – it may be because Kensley is just so darn cute. "She's awesome. She's like super happy. And if she were to see you, she would just hug you and smile."
He recorded the video with the camera atop her walker.
"She got a little crazy with me today due to the fact that I was filing her nails a little too rough, y'all see why I can't do anything for free, I'm charging her next week, just watch," he wrote with laughing emojis.
