Oh, no....OUCH!

Behold our first big injury.

Today was absolutely beautiful outside, so we decided to go for a walk up and down our street. Kellen is getting really good at walking so I let him walk with me. He was having a ball and was getting really excited as he watched the dogs and people walking by....and then we stopped to pick up a leaf - and that went well...but then he saw a stone. He squatted down to pick it up and fell flat on his face! He started to scream so I quickly picked him up, thinking he was just startled...but then I saw his face. He had dirt (you know, pavement dirty stuff) all down his face, in his eye, up his nose, in his mouth....and his little nose and cheek were bleeding. I felt so bad! We went upstairs to clean him up...and this is the result.....poor baby! These pictures actually don't even show how bad it is...his eye and cheek are really swollen. Luckily, Kellen has been a real trooper and continued to have lots of fun for the rest of the day!

....not impressed with his new look - nothing like getting your first shiner right before you start your new baby classes. It has been fun already having to explain to everyone who sees us that he fell on the driveway...and that he doesn't actually always look like this!

A new favourite thing that Kellen is doing these days (other than hiding everything we own in places we would never guess....and falling flat on his face!) is to empty out our laundry baskets and climb in and out of them...alot. It is pretty funny to watch because he will actually slide into the basket on his belly and then stand up to climb out.

...it looks pretty far down, I better hold on!

...and back out we go!

Kellen also likes to hang out in the sink while I'm doing dishes. After lunch, he will sometimes keep insisting that he join me while I'm cleaning the dishes - so, he sits in the dry sink and controls the faucet for me....he is really good at making sure I never run out of water!

After his bath, Kellen loves to climb onto his chair and jump around....or lie down and kick his legs while laughing. Bathtime just brings out the silly side of Kellen! Check out how long he looks in these pictures!!
