The Downside of Walking

Over the last week or so Lauren has really taken off with walking on her own. One day she was taking a step here and there and the next she was walking about 90% of the time. I must also mention she seems to be the dare devil of the family.

So, it was the night of Christmas Eve and all through the house the kids were stirring to get ready for bath time. Lauren was toddling in the bathroom all snug in her jammies when all of sudden a trip she did take. Downward and forward she flew to the floor but to our dismay it wasn't the floor she met first. With a sharp noise she landed into the side of the bath tub and instantly she cried out.

I rushed over to get her and take a look at the damage; a big giant bump swelled up like a bubble. I was scared and so was she...we ran to find grandma and seek her advice. After some counseling from a nurse we stayed home for care but, made sure to observe our baby stay fair.

Now, Lauren looks like a prize fighter, I know, but the black and blue continues to improve. We hope that soon she will return to the condition she was before that fateful Christmas Eve.
