Today Chance had his first real accident. I am sure it is but one on a long list of accidents he will have in his life this one was not so serious. This morning I was walking out of his room with him hot on my heels when I heard a bump and then a cry. He slips and trips and slides all the time so when I turned around to find his face flat on the floor I did my best not to freak out as I walked back to him. All the while talking to him in a calm voice and telling him he would be ok and I was coming to get him. Then he looked up. He looked right at me, still crying, there was blood all on his mouth, his nose and now his hand and part of his arm. I grabbed him thinking the worst. I did not know where the blood was coming from or what had really happened. I picked him up and walked into the bathroom to get a wet cloth to clean his face and stop the bleeding. By the time I got into the bathroom Chance had stopped crying and was wiggling around like nothing had ever happened. Iwiped the blood away which had pretty much stopped on it's own. I think his new little teeth cut his lip when he slipped. He pulled away when I wiped his mouth but I think that was just because he was ready for me to stop bothering him and put him down already. He ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with no problem as well as some crackers and a bottle not to mention sucking on his pacifier so I do not think there was any real damage done. All of these pictures were taken after the fall and as you can see he seems fine. We are out on the balcony in these pictures. In the first one he is making beautiful music on the top of my compost box which is his new thing to do when out on the balcony.

Abbi is the Queen of accidents. Even though she gets hurt all the time I can't help but freak out at each incident. I am glad Chance is okay, I just want to cry when they get hurt.
Ah yes, the busted lip. We've seen quite a few of those. It doesn't hurt me any less to see it now than the first time. Abbi is quite accident prone.
