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.

Ow from Boston :-( but the Spock look is quite (extra) cute.
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.
Poor baby!!!
