Elijah's First ER visit... (and cute pics to make the blog sunnier)

Last night marked a big first in little E's life...

His first ER trip.

I seriously doubt this will be the last.

He was playing and fell. Hit his head on the edge of a bookshelf. He cried but was over it way before I was. Now, I admit I am overly cautious (he is my first so I'm new at this); but he's bumped and bruised his head plenty of times and we just ice it and walk it off. But when I see blood gushing from his head, that screams emergency to me.

Ok.. so maybe it wasn't gushing.

But still.

Bleeding.

Anyway. Took him to the ER and 2 1/2 hrs and $200 later, there was nothing to worry about. No staples, no stitches, and no CT scan.

Praise God.

He was such a trooper. Laughed and played with all the nurses and for the most part, stayed pretty entertained in the hospital room for 2 hours.

In way cuter Elijah news...

E loves, loves, loves to stack things.

He loves to stack things more when he is able to climb to the top of them.

These are pictures of him playing with his stacking blocks.

Please note that he is forever trying to stack things that we know won't work. Things like a book on top of a ball. So he really surprised himself when these blocks stayed put when he stacked them (I would hope they would as "stacking" is in their name).

As you can see he was very happy.

That is until they fell.
