Fall down, go 'boom'.........

I'm always amazed at how resilient a 1 year old's body really can be. Kali 1.4 seems to injure herself in every way possible on a daily basis. Most of it just involves the trial and error of learning how to walk (and learing how to fall safely). She falls, trips, stumbles, and walks her way through the day. She probably only injures herself 3-5% of all falls. The problem is that she falls A LOT and so we end up with a bumped, bruised, or a uninjured but upset baby quite often.

You never realize just how many hard surfaces a child can run into until you have a baby. Some examples:

A wall
A high chair leg
Concrete sidewalks
Toy drum
Stair
Crib railing
Changing table
A moving swing
Coffee table
Window sill

And MUCH, MUCH MORE!
