Uh Oh!

On Friday we had our first big "incident".  Max is a champ at walking (as his birthday slide show tells you) and he is an even bigger champ at falling!  

There is some sort of magnet in a child that draws them inexplicably to the one thing in a room that can hurt them.  Only this would explain what happened on Friday morning.  Max was toddling around our bedroom and tripped over his own cute little feet.  He does this often.  However, somehow this time he managed to fall into the corner of our metal bed frame and hit his forehead smack in the middle.

The result of this was a trip to the doctor's office.  Max was awesome for the doctor, only crying for a second when he got his shot and then just smiling and staring happily at the nurse while the doctor stitched him up.  At the end, when I thanked her, she thanked me in return and told me that she had never had a baby not cry during stitches.  She said he was "an amazing one year old".  Of course, Lane and I knew this but it was nice to have it confirmed by a medical professional.

Max got three stitches to close him up and he looks a little funny.  But luckily Granny Bop had given him some really cool band-aids for his birthday!

  

Here is Maddox about 10 minutes after happened.  You can see he wasn't too thrilled about the situation but the band-aid made it all better!
