Addy is way more confident on her feet than Chase was (I think this has ALOT to do with the fact that she is 13 months and only 18.5lbs still! Chase was such a fatty (but he was so cute!) that he had a harder time getting the hang of walking.
Anyway, Addy likes to constantly carry 2 things around...In almost every picture I have of her, she has something in both hands.
The other night we were playing around, and Addy went around the corner to get something out of her toy box and BAM! she must have lost her balance and hit her forehead directly on the edge of the 3-sided fireplace. Luckily it wasn't on a corner, but on the front...I think the angle she hit it at was her saving grace...the impact seemed to Cauterize the wound so it hardly bled...It left a penny-sized gash right in her eyebrow. :o( I took her to the pediatricians office yesterday to have it looked at (since it hardly bled we just iced it down, put some Neosporin and a band-aid on it the night it happened...it wasn't really "stichable") they just put 2 steri-strips on it and a jaunty yellow band aid and declared her healed.
The doc says if we rub vitamin E on it every night once it heals, for about a month, she should have little to no scar left.
Here are some pictures...I'll take a picture without the band-aid on it tonight. I promise, she does smile! :o)
