A fat lip

We were headed to the Bishops Storehouse to do some of our food storage stuff with the ward yesterday when I got a call from my brother saying we better turn around and come take Aspen to the Hospital because she'd just split her lip open. If you know me, you know I freak out easily, so I was all worried, thinking the worst of course. I thought that I would find a puddle of blood and a large cut halfway up to her nose, etc...so when we got there, I almost laughed, because the damage wasn't as bad as they thought. Once it stopped bleeding, and started puffing up, it started closing itself back together, so by the time we got there, it looked a lot better than when it first happened. We decided it wasn't likely they would do anything at the hospital, so we put some medicine on it, and by this morning, it was looking lots better, just a fat lip and a bruised mouth. She had been sitting up on the bar stool on my Nephew Zacs lap, when he went to climb down and his foot got caught, and he ended up dropping her on her face and falling over the top of her, poor things. He felt awful about it, but I just told him that's what happens sometimes. She could have been hurt lots worse, so I am glad she just got her first fat lip! She screamed somethin awful, but she's all better today, and back to singing songs. A little about where she is at in life right now...

*She counts to 20 - almost without skipping numbers
*she sings her ABC's really well and can almost sign them -she tries so hard
*She does a bunch of signs still. Her newest sign is Egg

She is a sweet baby and a great learner. She has been fun lately...and busy. I often wonder if I will make it through this age...2 is tricky. I'm sure I will, and I'll look back and wonder why and how it went so quickly. Just like I do when I think of her when she was just a tiny baby. I can't even imagine her that small anymore. It's a little sad to think about.

Well, that's my long post for journalings sake...
