Zachary fell on one of Cam's toys on Friday night and instantly received a big, fat shiner underneath his right eye. It was so bizarre, by the time he stood up and we responded to the crying, it was already bruised and swollen. And you can forget trying to talk a 3 year old into holding ice on their face. That attempt lasted about 2 seconds.
The side profile, displaying the instant swelling. 
Anyhow, took him to the doctors last night for unrelated symptoms (sinus infection) and was a little apprehensive about how he looks. I was questioned by the nurse and the doctor about his injury and then Z was questioned as well, I guess they wanted to make sure our stories matched! Thank goodness we had reviewed the details on the way there.... Hopefully Children's Protective Services won't be knocking on our door any time soon!
On a development note, we got a sitter on our hands (even though he's not sitting in this picture)! I love it when they are sitting up and are entertained with toys all around them. He (not me) also seems a bit anxious to crawl, as he tries to pull himself forward when he's on the floor. Don't quite know if I'm ready for a crawler yet, time to baby proof I guess.

I hear you on the baby-proofing! Claire is rolling herself into trouble more and more these days, but not crawling yet either. She also got her first tooth!
Don't you hate bringing them to the doctor when they're all beat up! I had that same thing with Sophia because she bruises so much. The doctor was asking questions about how many bruises she had up and down her legs. I think they believed her when she answered she plays outside & falls a lot because CPS hasn't been at my door yet!
Ohhhh, poor little Zach- guess it comes with the territory of being 3! AND Cameron-let the fun begin!!!
