I guess you know who won that battle. A hardwood floor really lacks any give for a young tot trying his feet for the first time. What happened? Dada was pulling some clothes out of the dresser, and Westin thought, 'Hey why don't I stand up?!". So, he did. And everything was great, until the little Bean let go and did a full face plant on the floor. When I walked in for lunch, Westin was crying hysterically and Dada looked white as a sheet. My Baby had a swollen nose that was a little bloody and a bump over his left eye. I admit that I had a moment when I cried with my Baby. Did we want to take him to the Emergency Room? Um, YEAH! We are first time parents and so far, this is the most traumatic injury that WestinBean has suffered. After reading the baby book on what to look for for 'traumatic brain injury' (cue the snickering from more seasoned parents), we decided that we were probably overreacting. In the end, Westin, of course, is fine
...and for the record, two days later, so are Mama and Dada. :)

No doubt, it's traumatizing when you're little one gets hurt. When Ian learned to walk, he fell so much and was perpetually bruised that I worried daycare would start to worry. I talked things over with the pediatrician and she assured me God made toddlers close to the ground for a reason...they fall a lot. You'll be amazed how quickly Westin will catch on so then you'll start worrying he'll impale his head on a sharp corner as he's running (emphasis on running) around the house chasing the dog. He's a cutie!
