Subject: Walking is out for a few days

I was on the way out the door this morning, holding the baby, tripped on a Lego, twisted my ankle and fell. With the baby :( Luckily, I managed to fall onto my butt and I managed to hang onto him until the very last minute, so he only fell about 4 inches. He has a little scrape under his chin from his landing, but he's okay.

Let me tell you, those little guys sure know how to milk it though. He's screaming, I'm crying, my SO comes out and wants to know what happened, I'm blubbering too badly for him to understand me, and the baby is drowning me out anyway. He called Austin over, and the baby goes trotting over to Daddy and calms down. Then he turns those big blue eyes on me and GLARES at me. I tried to get him to come to me so that I could see if he's okay, but he's hanging onto Daddy and everytime I try to touch him, he starts screaming again. Poor little fella. I'm feeling all guilty about dropping him, then he reaches out and tugs on Daddy's goatee and busts out laughing.

We finally get him to go to me (had to bribe him with a bottle), and he's laying against me and doing those little snuffle winding down sobs. Then he pulls back, and smacks me in the face as hard as he could.

The sitter agreed to let him keep his bottle for at least the morning. I'm pretty glad about that, because she threw away his last bottle there about a month ago. I haven't had the heart to take away his "baba" yet. He gets his bottle with water to go to bed with, and he seems to still need it then. Maybe I'm just too soft and if I took it away he'd get used to it in a day or so.

I hurt the tendons in front of my ankle, and it's really painful to put any weight on it. I'm going to skip my walks that I had planned at least for today, and I'll see how it is on Friday.
