A trip to the dentist

As you all know this month is totally packed full of activities having to do with looking your best. On Friday, I told Buddy that we really needed to try hard for no bumps, bruises or scraps on Tillie so she could look her best for her pictures that were taken this morning. So far so good, until Saturday night. Tillie has learned to walk and all of you know that babies that are learning to walk have the "occasional" fall. Tillie was walking on the hardwood floor and tripped on her feet and BAM face first on the floor. Of course we say "UH-OH", thinking that maybe it was a no bleeder tip situation, oh but no. It was pouring blood. But, I stayed calm and tried to find out where it was bleeding from. Her lip started swelling as well as her tooth. We decided to call our family dentist and get her checked her out and he said that her tooth was definantly pushed back up into her gum and that if there was no nerve damage that it would come back down by Christmas. So several Popsicles later, the swelling has went down enough to make so great pictures.
Check out my lip on the day after!
On the way to see Dr. Barker!!!
