Our little guy decided he would prefer not to nap that afternoon so he was a bit grumpy but as soon as he saw the girls and Jeff he lit right up!
Once again he wasn't shy unwrapping his gifts and was thankful for all of the cool gifts he got including this big boy trike!
He is also into puzzles right now so he appreciates this gift too! He doesn't quite get putting the pieces in the right places but he enjoys looking at each of the different pieces and clapping them together!
One of the gifts we gave to the Hillins clan was a Special Day plate which you may have read about before on our blog. It was a tradition in Sara's family when she grew up and Brian and Sara have used one since they've been married. Now Jeff, Dawn, and the girls can start the special tradition too! Lauren already thought of a number of days she could use it - including going into a new class at school/daycare!
One of Sara's favorite presents from the Hillins was an angel ornament that said Godmother on it. So special! Just like this little girl and her proud Godmother!
The night came to bit of a halt when our little walker took a stumble backwards and cracked his noggin on the corner of a coffee table. Poor guy was showing his Uncle Jeff how we walks and he tripped and went backwards. He developed quite a goose egg on his forehead and was bleeding from his mouth (probably bit his tongue or lip on the way down). Mommy and Daddy were very scared and it took a long twenty or so minutes to calm him down. He didn't want ice on it and not even his nuk and Skip It made him happy. Poor guy :( What finally worked besides time? Splashing his hands in soapy water in the sink. Not the best pic of the battle wound but you get the idea.
He was kind of back to his old self, smiling and laughing but didn't want to be put down and certainly didn't want to try walking again. Lo and behold though a little red velvet cake sure made him happy!
On our way home we called our doctor and at first they wanted us to bring him right in but once they understood his head wasn't bleeding it just had a scratch or something on it we just had to be on 48-hour concussion watch which meant keeping him up for a while, sleeping in his room, and waking him every few hours to make sure he was alert and with it. Certainly scary but we are so thankful everything seems to be okay. We'd like to just build a bubble around him so he never gets hurt again - can someone please invent that? We're not sure how many injuries we can take for our little guy :(
