The day was perfect!

Livvy had her first major spill on a night that she was just too tired to put out her arms to catch herself, so instead, her face met the driveway. Two days later, I heard a fierce scream and ran into her room to find her on her back by her crib....she figured out how to use her bumper pads as a climbing tool. They were removed in about 2 minutes :) When I found her, her nose was bleeding quite a bit but I soon discovered that she had somehow scraped the scab off her "owie" on her way down to the floor; all else was fine, scared more than anything (for both of us!).
