Bruiser

So, Nora Tess keeps getting funnier and funnier and also more and more active/mobile. She LOvEs to be SiLlY. Well, we were playing Saturday night in her room and she would bodyslam her blanket and I would crawl over and tickler her and we'd both laugh. Then she was making me laugh so hard my cheeks hurt, by head slamming her blanket over and over really fast and laughing hysterically about it. My poor cheeks finally couldn't take it anymore so I started wrestling her and tickling her. Well, right then, Clay called and as I was 'taking a break' and talking to Clay, Nora started pulling the blankets off of the bottom shelf of her changing table. There were a couple of beautiful crochet blankets that we got from family and friends when N.T was born and as she was reaching for another blanket, her other hand slipped on one of the crocheted ones and she ate the bottom of the changing table really hard. She hit her lip, top tooth and side of her mouth really hard. She mangled up her lip and her gums and lip were bleeding pretty bad and, of course, she was sooo sad. The next morning she woke up with a fat lip and purple bruise that started at the corner of her mouth and extends in a straight line to about the middle of her cheek.

Sunday, she fell again and hit her eye on something (I can't remember what it was now) and ended up with a red bruise under her eye! Luckily there are no pediatrician appointments coming up soon - they'd probably think she was being abused. I thought I had a girl? Aren't boys supposed to be the banged up ones?!
