Owie!!!



This is not the Infanta's first bruise, but it will probably be her biggest so far. She was toppling off my lap - completely self-propelled - and slammed her cheekbone into the corner of the lappy. Oh, the howling! She tolerated an ice pack on the bruise for a couple of minutes, but then, once she was past the initial insult, started munching on it. I dabbed a little Burt's Bees Res-Q ointment on it (the shiny you see in the picture), but it's sure to develop into a real shiner.

Poor little girl. We have also had our fair share of shiners - goes with the territory.

Oh, I'm well aware this is just the beginning...

Yeah, it was around this age/stage that Riok sent us to the hospital for his first stitches.

Kids are surprisingly resilient. My sister had a real talent for getting hurt in interesting ways, but she's fine now. Fortunately, most people grow out of it.

Still... ouch!

Oh yes, I firmly believe that babies are made of rubber!
