The Perils of Speed

Our camera battery died before we finished moving, but I took this photo before my parents arrived to help with the move and packing. I was attempting to pack the pantry while Jonathan was awake. One of many rookie mistakes. You can see the result. All of these items were stacked neatly in boxes before Jonathan got into them. Needless to say, the pantry packing was delayed until he slept. When my parents arrived, one person could distract the little man while the other two packed. Here is my dad on distraction duty.
The title of this blog is as a result of a crash that Jonathan had with the corner of the cupboards in the kitchen. He was running (now the only acceptable mode of movement) and tripped on something and ended up with his first bruise that broke the skin. Other dings have been just small bumps but this this was a large goose egg for much of the afternoon. So sad...

The light makes it a little bit hard to see, but we tried to commemorate the occasion with some photos. Based upon his family history (from Jamie) and his wreckless running, I am certain we are in for many more dings in the coming days.


Lastly - Jonathan had his 15 month check up a week or so ago... he is in the 10th percentile for weight. I think all of his weight is in his cheeks. His head is in the 75th percentile. Height is right in the middle somewhere. I think the running and the 10th percentile are directly related. He never stops moving unless asleep or strapped in his car seat.

Yea for babies with big heads. I'm pretty sure Anna is going to be in a higher percentile for weight than the 10th. Her check up is in about a week. So sad about the goose egg. Poor little dude.

Ah yes, the naive attempt at putting things away while the little one is awake!! I've done this many times!! Your dad looks like a great distraction, hallelujah for grandpas!! And oh, his poor head! Allison had a mysterious bruise that showed up on her head this weekend. Not really sure where that came from...but I know it will not be the last! Also...that's weird that he's in such a low %ile for weight...he doesn't look that small to me! I think Allie is pretty much middle of the scale for every measurement...so very average!!
