Bumps & Bruises

Today Carson turned 5 months old (looking at the time i guess technically it was yesterday!) I made the day all about him giving him my undivided attention; or so I thought. I decide to take him down to the creek about 500 feet from our house to look at the water and take his picture like I do every month on his "Month Day".  I brought his awesome little camping chair down with us and began snapping away. I even got the dogs in on the fun! Right when I was setting up the camera so I could get in on the pictures to, I look over to see Carson do a hard nose dive face plant into the frozen ground below! I drop my camera (not realizing or caring that I broke it) and jumped to the rescue! I pulled him close, scared to even look to see the damage done to his face!! This was his very first hard fall! I know I have many more to come, it will just be a feeling I will have to get used to I guess. I finally pull him away to look at his face to see what was done and even though I know it wont be the worst I will see for the next 18 years, it definitely was heartbreaking! He is such a tough little man though that the crying only lasted a minute and he was happy the rest of our day. Needless to say I stopped taking pictures of him after that knowing his battle wounds would overtake the photos! lol We will see how his face looks tomorrow, and since I am fearing he will have a black eye, I will have to try and take a picture to have on file for his first nasty fall! Below however is a couple pictures I did happen to take for his 5Month shots:)
