Brayden's First Fall



Brayden has decided to start pulling himself up to standing about a couple of weeks now. (right now he is 7.5 months old) Recently he has decided that trying to take a few steps would be fun. Of course he is not stable enough to actually go to far yet. In fact, as my attention was briefly away from him when he decided to lunge for the TV stand. He fell and hit his head on the bottom edge of our TV stand. I quickly applied pressure to stop the bleeding as I called the doctor and neighbor for help. We drove up to the clinic, they had me go straight to the surgeon with him since the "gash" was longer than 1 inch and probably need stitches. The surgeon said I responded well, and that he would not need stitches. He did need to glue the cut shut. Brayden is doing much better. He is healing very well. Since he likes to look at the camera I could not get a very good picture of the cut for him to brag about later in life. Travis informs me that this is a first of many bumps, cuts, and bruises he will have. These pictures were taken 24 hours after the fall.
