My Little Fighter and Baby Checkup

Last week was a bit of a bang up week for Blake...literally. I started off the week receiving a call from Blake's school that he was fine, but was involved in an incident. Another baby attacked Blake. Okay, not really, but another baby while walking in a "walk-about" toy ran over Blake's thumb. It caused the skin to pull away the entire length of his thumb and bled...a lot. I must admit his thumb looked pretty nasty. Then later in the week he fell and hit his head in the same spot he seems to always hit his head and ended up with a black and blue goose egg on his forehead. And then he opened a drawer and sat down, bumping his eye on the corner, ending up with a bit of a shiner. Blake looked like he was a little prize fighter. I'm crossing fingers he heals up nicely and no other incidents take place this week as he's having professional photos taken on Saturday. I guess there's always photoshop...
Blake got a present last week for being so brave with all his injuries...his first soccer ball. It was love at first sight. He could not stop smiling and hugging the ball and would hit it and then chase after it. It was so much fun to see. Here are a few pics. This first one if you look at his right thumb can sort of make out his cut...

And here is Blake hugging his new best friend...

And his eyes are closed due to the flash, but a good shot of his eye injury and you can barely make out the bump on his forehead on his right side of his face...

As I've said before Blake's absolute favorite place in the world (well beside Grandma & Grandpa's) is outside. Anytime the backdoor opens to let Darcy in or out, Blake makes a mad dash to try and make his escape. He's got a cool little playhouse with a slide that he has to have fun with as well. It even has a door on it, which has become one of his new favorite activities. He doesn't discriminate against the type of door. If it can open and shut, he is there opening and shutting. He could do this alllll day long. Here is a pic in his playhouse about to open and shut the door about fifty times...

This morning was an exciting one for me as it was baby checkup day. Until I can feel baby move, I rely on these doctor appointments to have that reassurance all is still okay with baby. It was a quick and fairly uneventful appointment but I got to hear the sweet music to my ears...baby's heartbeat. Heartbeat sounded wonderful and doctor was perfectly happy with how everything is going. Great news. I scheduled the big ultrasound as well...May 22nd. I CAN NOT WAIT!
