It's all part of growing up...

Eric has been walking non stop for about the last month. Well, with this new skill comes some accidents. See for yourself:
Here Eric is practicing his new skill:

So, in our apartment here, they have a coffee table. One night Eric lost his balance and plowed into the coffee table, giving himself a bloody nose and mouth. Before putting his to bed, we made sure the nose had stopped bleeding. In the morning though I found this: Poor guy

About a week after his coffee table incident, I was chasing Eric. At one turn he lost his balance and hit a corner on the wall, giving himself a big bruise on his head. At his cousins no more than 3 days later, he pulled a bedside table over on himself giving his a bruiser that matched this on the other side of his head.

What's a boy without scabs and bruises?

Oh poor boy! That stinks. Fortunately we haven't had that yet...knock on wood.

Poor little fellow! I want to see him walking! Hyrum and Eric could now play tag!

Hope things are well with you.

We're both in shock that Eric is WALKING! Where has the time gone?

It's too bad that he's sustained injuries from his new skill, but you're right: little boys aren't complete without bruises and bumps!

We miss you, and we are PLANNING to see you guys this summer. We'll be just across the state line! :)
