Willow is, uhm how should we say, adventurous. She is now 14 months old and already has a chipped tooth. She often has bumps and bruises, some from her brother or neighbor and many more from her own actions. For example, a couple months ago she got a sizable bruise on her head because she wanted to run around with a towel on her head after bath time. But she got going to fast with the towel over her head (and eyes) that she ran right into the dining room chair. She has some nice scraps on the knees and elbows from trips and falls. She even got a scab on her head when she fell outside and face planted on the sidewalk. But the most recent "injury" was what Dave and I affectionately termed her boxer eye. We still haven't figured out exactly what happened- whether she fell (or was pushed down) or if her pink eye spread- but she ended up with a swollen eye that looked like she was in a boxing match the night before.
As you can see, it was pretty dramatic. She has those big beautiful eyes like her brother and to see one of them only open about half as much as the other was so pathetic. It didn't seem to really bother her too much but we did have to keep a close eye on it. The girl just doesn't really let anything slow her down. Bleeding, crying, eye swelled closed- she just keeps moving. I think she gets that from her dad:)
