Fat lip baby
This is another post should have a picture attached. Of course, it probably wasn’t bad enough that anyone else would be able to see it, but Sophia came home from daycare with a fat lip yesterday. I stayed at work an extra ten minutes chatting with a coworker and arrived at the daycare ten minutes after Sophia’s fat lip incident. *sigh*
They all looked worried when they saw me arrive to pick up Sophia instead of Kurt. I think they were expecting a much more emotional momma bear. She looked fine and every kid gets them, so no big deal. Apparently, Sophia was sitting on the floor with a boppy pillow behind her, since she has a tendency to fling herself backwards. She was reaching for a toy in front of her, flopped forward and hit her mouth on the floor. This incident has caused us to find that her two bottom teeth are coming in. I still can’t see them. You would think that I would be the first to know, but I haven’t felt them either. We know because the skin inside of Sophia’s top lip was scratched in two places all the way up. They gave her an icepack and me an “occurrence report” to sign.
Yesterday’s Daily Infant Report read, “Hi there! Sophia had a great day! Even without her ‘friend‘ she did pretty good. Today I saw she sitting up all by herself! She is strong”
You’ll have to forgive the grammar. English isn’t her first language. The part about her sitting up meant that she saw Sophia waking up from a nap and the next thing she new Sophia sat up without using the bars on the crib. She’s only an infant but she sat straight up! Actually, she cheats a bit by using her elbows to push herself up, but still! I know this because I’ve watched her do it several times.
I can’t believe I forgot to bring ‘friend’ with me yesterday! Today as I dropped her off, they made sure I had ‘friend’ with me. Today’s Daily Infant Report read, “Hi there! Sophia is doing better and better each day! Today she was giggling and smiling a lot when *name of other caregiver* was playing peek-a-boo with her. We took pictures of it!”
I can’t wait to see those pictures.
Oh and she had a two hour nap on her stomach! (They of course place her on her back to sleep.)

Teeth! She’s finally making teeth! Too bad the first thing she did with them was put a hole in her lip, though. *sigh*
I miss sending you a daily Sophia pic. But I love reading *caregiver’s* daily infant reports. Her English makes me smile. She’s awesome.

Oooh! Poor thing. Unfortunately for her (or maybe more so for you!) there will be MANY more injuries to come!
And yay for the teeth. My 9.5 month old has his 2nd tooth pushing through right now. All I can say is stock up on the Tylenol for when those babies get close to the top. :0)

smarmoofus - Yep she’s got teeth now. Well, actually just one bottom tooth that came out first, no others have broke through the gums yet. I thought she had a top tooth out the other day, but that must have turned around and hid.
I miss my daily picture too. The reports are great, but I think the pictures were better.
AMomTwoboys - Thanks, Tylenol didn’t help one bit though.
