Copper's First Injury

Copper sustained her first injury last week. As Aubrey likes to point out, it was on my watch. You can just barely see the red mark on her forehead in the picture. Really, it's way better than I envisioned her first spill. It happened in her oversized, not intended for 10 month olds, kid camp chair. Copper was inappropriately sitting in it with one leg draped over the side through the arm and leaning precariously over the arm of the chair. While I was gabbing away with my Uncle Larry (probably about what an amazing mom I am) and ignoring the impending catastrophy, down she went. Right onto the little jagged white rocks. She cried and I wiped all of the grime from the entire side of her face. She didn't wail, but it did take a bit to calm her. Her red mark has since turned into a small bruise. I think the brain damage is minimul, but I'm sure Aubrey will use it against me for the rest of our lives. Although I'm pretty sure that the injuries she'll get on Daddy's watch will include hospitalization and a choice of colors for a cast.
