Later, Brooke decided to climb (or fall) over a basket of toys and smack her face on the hardwood floor. After her Daddy got the bleeding to stop, we now have a baby with a bruise on her cheek and a fat lip. Now we have to stay inside for a few days so that people dont start asking us why our daughter is so battered and bruised ;)
Not sure how much a picture will show, but you can see the fat lip and the red mark on her right cheek here. (She is sucking on a teether, the only cold thing I could get her to put into her mouth to try to get the swelling to go down!)
And here is a close-up of her lip. Sorry for the dazed look in her eyes ... she was watching cartoons ;) That blank stare is one of the reasons they recommend kids under 2 do not watch television, but I swear we only let her watch it for 1 minute at a time while we do diaper changes! Its the only thing that keeps her a bit still and gives us a fighting chance at getting her diaper off and a new one on before she flips over and crawls away.
