Bloody lips & black eyes




Xander received a few bumps and bruises the other day as he practiced walking around the room. He would walk from one couch to the other, back and forth, faster and faster, with such pride every time he reached his goal. He always looks up to see who is watching him and beams with delight and pride! It is always funny to watch him quicken his speed as he approaches his goal. He starts at a pretty even pace but then as he gets closer to the couch it turns into a short sprint before his legs get tangled underneath him and he lunges torwards the couch/chair/barstool/ottoman... or whatever he is trying to get to before he falls. Hence the bumps and bruises, as he doesn't always make it to his destination before he crashes to the floor and catches his face on whatever item was supposed to bring him safety. But he is such a bruiser and a cruiser. He just jumps up and starts his laps again, barely giving me time to wipe off the blood!

A few bumps and bruises? He looks completely beat up! I would say try and keep him down but it looks like that is near impossible.
