Boom!!!

The inevitable has occurred. Are any of us really surprised? Perhaps not. But I know that I feel bad about it. Alex busted his little lip for the first time this evening. Yes - I'm sure I need to get used to this because I know it's not the last time. But the poor little booger was so upset and it made me upset and it was just not a good situation. He was trying to pull up on his little chair and desk and slipped - boom, bang, wahhhh! At first I thought he had just knocked himself. But when I picked him up and looked at his face I saw a little trickle of blood and darted to the bathroom for a cold washcloth. He only wanted to suck his thumb, though. I tried to clean him up the best I could but because he wouldn't let me near his little bump I think it's going to end up being a big bump. I did put some aquaphor on it since it's mostly just a split on his lip and I don't want it to get infected. How does a kid with no teeth split his lip?

Lesson learned today: do not take your hands or eyes off of a newly mobile infant for even a second. I know that's not really feasible. But I was literally looking at Justin as he said something and bam! Alex was on the floor crying. There is so much truth to the "it only takes a second" saying!

In other news - Alex is now at a new daycare. I really didn't want to move him but the drive was getting unbearable for both Justin and I. So we moved him to a centrally located Goddard School which is really nice - brand new, great staff, very professional owner. Hopefully he will do well there! He's already started doing the sign for "more". I know he doesn't understand what he's doing - but his motor skills are getting better overnight!

I think that's it for now. Justin and I are on a mission to lose our baby weight. Twenty pounds to go! Not bad considering how much I gained - I've almost lost an Olsen twin!
