"Cooper David, Sit DOWN!"

Any of you who have been around Cooper know that his latest stunt is standing up in his high chair. It's a tricky move that he has mastered. We strap him in and slide his tray snug up to his belly. But, as soon as he's done eating (priorities!), he turns and stand in one swift movement so that he's standing backwards. He is sooo proud! Well, needless to say, he hears, "Cooper David, sit DOWN!" a lot.

I knew it was just a matter of time before a fall and it came yesterday. I put some food on his tray, turned around, walked to the sink and heard the loudest, most awful thud, followed by silence. When the crying isn't immediate, you know its bad. And there was my little man, face down on the hardwood floor. He starts screaming, tears are welling up in my eyes and sister's saying, "I didn't do it! I didn't do it!" He didn't knock himself out, but he was a little lethargic for awhile....scared me enough to call the ER. When I asked sister if she saw him fall she said, "Yup, he stood up, stepped out and fell like a rock mom."

I'm glad to report Cooper is alright and he's added two more head injuries since. I tried to get a good picture of the knot on his head, but this was as good as I could do. The injuries have NOT slowed him down.
