Never a dull moment around here...
Over the last several months, I have enjoyed 15 minutes of solitude in the mornings while Ben happily played in his crib with a bottle of milk. (Solitude=quick shower and/or check email briefly). This morning, I put him in his crib as usual, and went next door to the bathroom to dry my hair. About 2 minutes into drying my hair, I hear a huge thud, knowing it was more than the items that Ben is habitually throwing out of his crib onto the floor. I run into his room and hear him try to cry, thinking he is gearing up for the "big cry" and nothing...he is lying face-down in stunned silence staring off into the distance. My heart stopped at this moment and I waited....about 10 seconds later (it felt like 2 mintues), he started to sob. I didn't want to pick him up as I was concerned he may have hurt his neck. He quickly got up and held onto me, and cried for a good 5-10 minutes. I immediately called the doctor and they reviewed head injury precautions and things to watch for (the second time I've called on a matter like this). Today, he has been acting normally, talking normally, and being as active as ever. I am so thankful he is okay. I swear, I'm going to have a full head of grey hair before I am 40 (which isn't too far off!).

Liar.
you are a LONG way from 40.
Too funny Amy!!! Allison crawled out of her crib for the 1st time on tues...only we heard a thud and the door opened and she announced to the entire house "I waked up!!!" Just to make you feel better I dropped Noah when he was like 2 weeks old...I was trying to dry my hair and hold him...I just remember his tiny body flipping through the air...then the silence. Then the scream. He was fine and I have had many more "moments" after that! You are doing great, can't wait for the newest to arrive. Tell Steven I say hello.
