A Big Fat Boo Boo!

Well yesterday afternoon Berkley got her first "really good boo boo!" She was crawling around while I was on the computer and she reached for my hand and missed it and hit the edge of the computer desk straight on! The second it happened I heard a thud and she looked up and just started going to town screaming! I have never felt so horrible in my entire life! And the worse part is what those things look like when they first happen; NOT PRETTY! Of course she had a huge blue line across her forehead and a big ol' goose egg! By the evening it looked better but still not her normal beautiful forehead! (And of course Rance is graduating this Friday night, so pictures will be not so perfect!) But this morning she woke up and the swelling had gone down and it doesn't look as bad today! She is also getting her upper, left middle tooth so she is not so happy at the present time! She has also started loving watching softball with us and since the College World Series is fixing to get up and running, we are totally excited! (You can see photographic proof that she likes it; I am not making it up though I am totally going to encourage the whole softball bit!) For those of you who aren't familiar, I played collegiate softball at Vernon College for two years after I graduated high school and my sister was a member of the Angelo State Rambelle softball team, so we are a little crazy about our softball! (Oh yeah my dad also gives pitching lessons to about 30 girls around my hometown area-but we aren't partial to any specific positions or sports around here!) Oh and Berk found Thad's football the other day and she thoroughly enjoyed playing with it! (Again, we are not partial to sports around here!) But overall she is still just enjoying life and here are some pics of her boo boo!

5/21/09...Clapping away! As you can see she is getting quite large; so large that some denim shorts that Gran and Pops bought her two weeks ago in 12-18 months have had their one-time wear!

5/23/09..."Hey dad, check this out! Hut, hut!"

5/23/09...She loves her da-da!
5/24/09...Watching softball on TV!

5/26/09...The boo boo right after the fact

5/26/09...Again

5/26/09...After the swelling had gone down but still looking blue!

5/26/09..."Mom, why did you let that happen to me?!"

5/26/09..."Surely my moo cow will make it better!"

***I will upload photographic proof sometime that Berk comes from good softball stock ("good" of course being a relative term, but I've got videos too!!)*******
