Just call me "Bruiser"

No, we didn't enter Andra in a boxing match...but it sure looks like it. Andra is borderline running now, so she's pretty tough to keep up with. And sometimes her legs move faster than the rest of her body. She's taken a few tumbles lately, and as luck would have it, she ALWAYS seems to land on the corner of a door frame. or coffee table. or any other hard surface. And it happens so fast that I usually can't prevent the bump. If you look at her head, you can see it's actually two separate bruises. Just as the first one was healing, she took another tumble and hit her head in the exact same spot! Poor girl.
In other Andra news, she's cutting her fifth tooth! And they're arriving out of order. She's got her four front teeth (2 on top, 2 on bottom). Typically, babies will cut the teeth to each side of those next...but Andra's decided to skip those and move straight to her molars. Just this morning, I finally got my finger in there and can feel a rough edge. Maybe this means more table food? :) Just in time for turkey day! She must've planned it.

She's a doll! There for a while Bri always sported a scab, bruise or bump. I was a basket case most of the time, but I eventually grew out of it. Word of advice: Don't hang your stockings from the fireplace with those heavy stocking holders. You just might end up in the ER:(
