The Trouble With Being One

Obed's had a rough couple of days. Yesterday he had his one year doctor's appointment. He is healthy... but he did have to get his one year shots - never a fun experience. He got a bit of a fever last night and this morning from his shots. He's also trying to cut his molars, which seem to be taking quite some time... but those are causing him quite a bit of misery, not to mention some horrendous diapers! Then, today he was trying to pull a toy down off a shelf in Ezra and Asher's room, and it fell on him. If you look closely at his right eye, you'll see a small bruise forming right next to the eye where the toy landed quite solidly on his face. Then, to top the day off, we were at the zoo today and we looked up when our friend exclaimed, "Obed has a hornet on him!" I was too late in getting to him. The hornet stung him right on his lip, then flew inside his mouth. This picture was 90 minutes post-Benedryl... so most of the swelling had gone down. The poor baby had two big fat lips - the upper lip on the left side (you can still see the red spot on his lip) and his bottom lip, where I think the hornet got him a second time. Poor kid... I hope the first few days of his second year of life are not an indication of things yet to come!
