Re: Time elapsed from Graduation to Goose-egg...

[Guest guest]

,

Trust me this head knocking thing takes some time. is under

the kitchen table (as I type) clocking his head on it. He hasn't

adjusted to the unprotected head quite yet and he's been out of it

since Friday afternoon.

Poor . I hope that bump and eye heals really quick. Love the

pics. He looks so mature now. When will you have the B & A pics?

Congrats!

His little head looks beautiful (and he is so handsome!)...it gives

me hope! I was told by CT to expect a fearless child when this is

all over...that they get used to having that protection on their

head.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Very cute pics, love the nose ring, lol. I hear you

on the bumps and bruises! Connor is in the cruising stage and

regularly falls and smacks his head. It was kind of nice having that

extra protection. Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun with the

graduation party. Don't worry, Connor kind of has the Beatle look

going on too and needs a trim badly.

I'm so happy this is all behind you and you plan on sticking around!

Sorry about 's booboos. They do learn quickly though that no band, means no head protection. I can't want to see his before and after pics.
