You shoulda seen the other kid, ma!


Miss Siri had her first visit to Urgent Care this week.  After learning to crawl on Monday, her mother stupidly set her on top of the bed Tuesday afternoon and then turned around for three seconds.  That's all it took for the young daredevil to fling herself head first onto the hardwood floor.  Completely freaked out, her mom rushed her over to the pediatricians office to be checked out.  Other than a large purple goose egg on her forehead, a chipped front tooth and what is surely a raging headache, she is fine.  The doctor assured Siri's distraught mother that "these things happen" and that "it's okay." 

She may have a colossal shiner as a result of her fall, but is looking better than expected today.  She has not been deterred by this incident and is merrily crawling about the house, singing, babbling and looking for floor detritus to eat and cats and brothers to torture, much to her mother's relief.

She looks awfully happy for someone with that kind of bruise! Glad to see it.
