Fat Lip

It looks like I'm gonna have to update in reverse for a few posts...I didn't realize it had been so long since a post!

Kira fell flat on her face last night...tripped over nothing but her own feet, poor baby. She was airborn before she landed and bit through her lip when she landed! At first I thought it was a normal fall and she was just crying from being scared. But, the cry quickly turned into the "I am hurt! Fix me!" cry. Then the blood started pouring. I thought maybe she had knocked a tooth loose there was so much blood! Of course, when she finally let me look in her mouth I found all 9 teeth in their places (yes, I said NINE!) We grabbed her boo-boo bunny out of the freezer just as her lip started puffing out before our eyes. It was HUGE! And it was wierd to watch it puff out like that in a matter of a second or two. She looked so funny and sad all at the same time.
All this in spite of the fact that we are so diligent about keeping the house as trip free as possible. Just minutes before, Daddy had gone through and picked up all her toys so she wouldn't trip on them. I guess there's nothing we can do about a skinny minny with big feet! She wasn't paying attention and was looking back at us as she ran away. It reminded me a little of the dramatic "superman" escapade that my sister pulled just moments before crashing into the screen door at our house in Bartlesville with a little of the tongue biting episode from Wayside mixed in.
She woke up crying several times as she was trying to fall asleep last night (but, really, what is new there!?!) but once asleep slept most of the night and woke up looking and feeling much better.
