our first big boo-boo

well, we had our first official injury - considering she is almost a year old - I dont think that is so bad.. however, it was just as painful for mommy and daddy as for penelope.


on saturday am over memorial day weekend, penelope was just playing on the floor in the kitchen while mommy, daddy and aunt lizzie were eating breakfast. she must have been reaching for the table leg to grab onto (while sitting) and missed.  the force of her body leaning over pushed her forward and when her little hands missed the table, her head did not.  collided right into the solid wood leg.  it was loud. it shook the table.  and she screamed.

by the time I picked her up and starting calming her down... her head looked like this:


now it obviously looks much better now, but it scared mommy and daddy!  we called the dr., checked for a concussion, kept and eye on her all day, iced it off and on through it all - penny was great. after the initial crying - it never bothered her again.

and now has her first little war wound.

here's the "owie" today (2 days latter).



much much better!!

just a nasty bruise!
