Mother of the year!! (not so much!)

I know accidents can happen, but I feel terrible about this one..yesterday I had Acen in his bumbo feeding him and he turned to reach for something and about came right out of it! So I told Shad we really need to keep an eye on him. Well, today I wished I would have listened to myself and kept a closer eye on him. I was getting his cereal ready and talking to my mom on the phone, I was standing right by him, and in the blink of an eye he flipped out of the bumbo, which was on my kitchen counter, and belly flopped onto the floor!! I freaked!! I dropped the phone to grab him and he started screaming! I am sure my mother was panicked too, and I have no idea what words came out of my mouth or if she heard them or not! All I know is I panicked! He seemed to be okay and there was no blood, so I have just been watching him, but his top lip started to swell up, hard to see in the picture above,but I guess his bottom teeth hit his lip, but other than that he is okay! Now, please don't call child services, it was totally an accident, but I now know I need to stand right in front of him or better yet use the highchair with restraints!!

I hate when things like that happen. On Sunday I accidentally hit Pryce's head into the church bench as I was trying to get up to bounce him and was taking care of Jarrett. I felt horrible. It is a good thing they don't remember these things.

Oh how fun suckers are!
Elisha is starting to throw herself off anything she can too.
You are not a bad mother at all... babies are built to learn

Becky just remember we have all done something that makes us feel like bad moms! My Alec when he was 21/2 and Olivia was 4 months picked her up off my bed (when I thought they were taking a nap together) pretty soon I heard a thud at the bottom the stairs and it was Olivia. He walked her to the stairs and then she arched and rolled down all the stairs. So now you don't have to worry!!
