How fitting that the day I decide to post the video of Elijah learning to pull up to standing is also the day that he takes his first big fall and gets his first goose-egg. He was playing and pulling up on a chair while I cleaned up from lunch, and then I heard it- a loud bump! Then the loud cry and big alligator tears. I felt so awful. I scooped him up quickly and began to hold him tight telling him it's okay and singing to him.
He calmed down, and I got the first look at his head- a big, blue goose-egg. After giving him Tylenol and trying our best to hold an ice pack on the bump, we took a few pictures to mark this memorable occasion. I told David that I felt like such a bad mommy, and he "reassured" me by telling me not to feel bad as this would be the first of many falls.(If you look closely, you can see his little teeth in this picture! He has 3 teeth fully in and 3 more that just poked through!)
