Felix's Big Owie

On Sunday, Felix took a little tumble while walking around our house, and his head came in contact with the edge of a chair. He ended up with a lovely gash that clearly needed more than hugs and kisses for it to be "all better". So, off we went to the ER at Children's Hospital. After a few hours (that are too sad to describe), Felix emerged sporting a lovely pirate's scar (14 stitches!) over his left eye that makes him look like Mr. Spock.



Besides being really tired for a few days, Felix seems unscathed by the experience; it certainly has not dampened his enthusiasm for walking. The stitches will be removed on Friday-it is amazing how fast babies heal!

As for his moms, our recovery is going a bit more slowly. We are considering a plan to coat the entire house in foam padding; please let us know if you have any leads on organic, fair trade, or locally made materials.

Poor Felix and moms! He looks super tough with those spock stitches though.
It's going to be a helmet for Andie when she starts walking.
