Car-Car is NOT having the greatest week! :/

I figured I'd put this in writing so I can remember it; and since I type faster than I write, I'm putting it on the blog.
So on July 11th Carter broke through a tooth. And its SLOWLY coming up through the gum. I feel like a horrible mom because the week before he was really fussy and clingy. I thought he was just being a turkey. But in my defense Londyn didn't get her first tooth until she was 13 months, so teeth at 9 months didn't even cross my mind! :/
He's always been my little bruiser. Some how he ALWAYS ends up with a bruise, scratch, or something at the end of the day (the majority of the time its on his head somewhere!) , especially now that he's moving QUICKLY!!
So last Tuesday Carter woke up the same time Bradey did, 5:45 am!! Mommy does not do 5 maybe 6, but definitely NOT 5!! When Bradey was ready to head to work at 6:30, he laid Carter in bed with me, so that I could snuggle with him, and hopefully get him back to sleep. He was almost a sleep, so I figured I could run to the bathroom really quick. Well I was wrong!! While sitting there I heard a "THUD" and my little man screaming bloody murder!! Poor kid had an instant bruise on the side of his head, and a scrape on his nose.
Later on that day, just after lunch, I was sweeping and mopping the floor. When I do this I put the chairs upside down on the table. Londyn and him were in the living room reading books. Londyn was talking so I assumed he was in there with her. My back was facing the table so I didn't see him come crawling in, but the next thing I heard was "THUD" and him screaming BLOODY MURDER! He crawled under the chair, which knocked it down and fell on top of him. :/ Again he had a new bruise on his head.
That evening my kids when over to my older sisters house, while I went to my Mary Kay meeting. When I came to pick them up, YOU guessed it, Carter had a NEW bruise on his head!! He was crawling up the stairs, fell down, and hit his head on the wall.
You would think by now I WOULD never leave his side, but I didn't learn.
On Wednesday Bradey was grilling up some hamburgers for dinner, so the whole family was outside on the deck. I put Carter down on one of the camping chairs, and was playing with him. Bradey said, "Burgers are done." So I automatically went inside to get plates, assuming Bradey would keep an eye on the kids. Well he didn't realize I came inside, so he came inside to do the same thing. The MINUTE Bradey walked into the house we heard a "THUD" and screaming once again. Carter had fallen off the chair head first onto the deck. Not only did he have a bruise, but he had a HUGE goose egg.
The next few days were calm for our little man, but you know how the saying goes, "there's a calm before the storm"
Sunday I took Carter into Primary with me. He likes to stand up a lot more now, and I let him so he can build his leg muscles!! Well he was standing and supporting himself up with a little chair, and I was behind him using my legs as a safety net for him. Well the chair fell back, and he fell down. While he fell he hit is chin on the chair, which made him BITE his gum, NOT his lip BUT his GUM?! (now remember he just broke through ONE razor sharp tooth TWO whole weeks ago!!) There was blood every where. He snuggled into my shoulder, so most of it was on me, but there was so much that it soaked through my shirt, my bra strap, and my garments. All over his face, his shirt, some dripped onto his pant and his feet, and on my dress. It was a mess. All I can say is THANK YOU Tide for being an amazing product and doing what your suppose to do, LIFT OUT STAINS !!
And today he is trying to brake through ANOTHER tooth!! Oh man this one is really hurting him. SO our little man is not having the best of luck lately.
But on a positive note ALL he ever says is Dad, which Bradey loves because he's two for two!! And he's crawling up the stairs like a champ. Tonight he crawled up the stairs WITHOUT any help TWICE!! He's getting so big. I have a feeling walking will happen this next month! I just can't believe how much he has grown.
We gave him an Oreo after falling on the deck. It really lifted his spirits!!

  3. I feel like I'm reading an excerpt out of my life... Anton, has had a chair fall on him, he's fallen off the bed, the couch, had our nightstand fall on him... they just never learn... some how the last two days both pinky fingers have managed to have HUGE owies on them and I have no idea how they got there?? I hope Car is feeling better!! I don't know if you have a sling or not but that worked so well for Anton when he wasn't feeling very well, he was on me with out me having to HOLD him!! I wish I lived closer so I could give the little guy a big hug and smooch!!
