Growing pains

We think Fuller weighs around 35 pounds and is 32 inches tall. He wears a 3T right now, but he seems to be getting taller every day and I wonder if he will need 4T before the beginning of the year.

As he grows, he gets into more things, including little accidents that cause him to look a bit like he's been in a school yard scuffle.

I give you the list of Fuller's latest "injuries:"

This morning he was running into the kitchen, not watching where he was going and smacked his right temple into the corner of the counter.

He scraped his knee when he tripped on the back sidewalk.

This weekend he got a bruise when he continually fell over the large thresholds in the historic home.

He scraped his toes when he was dragging his feet when he was riding a toy scooter at the lake. They would scab over and then he would scrape them again the next time he went for a ride.

He scratched his chin with his fingernail when his fingernails were a little too long.

Fuller fell (while seated on the floor) and smacked his cheek on the coffee table at Lake Martin.

A mysterious scrape appeared on his forehead that we have no idea where it came from.

I realize that bumps and brusies are all a part of growing up, but someday soon I hope Fuller learns to look where he is going and pick up his feet.
