A few weeks ago the little one decided to ride his little bike thing off the hearth and landed face first into the corner of the coffee table. It pushed one of his front teeth back a bit and obviously hurt quite a bit. We took him to the emergency room (it was late in [...]
Poor Baby
The last couple of weeks sure have been rough on the baby. He’s almost two and very mobile, but still not completely coordinated, and loves to explore. Unfortunatley, sometimes he battles with gravity and gravity wins. He was in the back seat of the truck. Up until now, he hasn’t been able to unbuckle himself [...]
