Busted Up

Emersen was sliding along on the kitchen floor, pushing some kind of container and fell on her baby version of a key fab and keys. And busted her lip. Apparently there was lots of blood in her mouth. Mom was keeping her - apparently 5pm on Wednesday when's she's about to go home is the time for these mishaps. But you'll see in the pictures, for the girl who drools incessantly and gets food on her at every meal, there's NO BLOOD on her clothes. Good job Grandma! She sat in mom's lap, sucked on an ice cube and when I got home, was pretty much fine. She wanted me to hold her, but she was in a good mood. Of course, she had had some Tylenol as well. It was swollen again the next day as well, but less and you could see the cut on her lip. And the next day it was pretty much better. I'm amazed at how fast a baby heals. Emersen would scratch her face as a baby and in 12-24 hours it would be completely gone. Ah, young skin.

Mom told Emersen that her bears mouth was hurt and she needed to kiss it to make it better. So she did. Love her.

Updates: Emersen is up to taking about 5 steps max at a time. Yesterday she did figure out how to stand up on her own. And even take a step afterwards. She was SO cute when she was doing it. We would clap and cheer so she would just stand there carefully balanced and clap her hands. She also climbed on top of the tupperware storage containers we had out this weekend. 

Stay tuned for pictures of Emersen in her new red, green and white polka dot TUTU that a friend gave her!!! It's almost that time of year!
