Poor baby broke her arm on Sunday night. She was climbing on the couch and did a little daredevil move and walked out to the edge of the couch and fell off. When she wouldn't put pressure on her arm and crawl we decided to take her to InstaCare. She fought really, really hard, but we finally got the x-ray done and sure enough she'd broken both bones in her arm (the radius and ulna). So we got a splint on and went home.
On Monday we went to the Orthopod who didn't think that a cast would stay on her arm because it's so chubby and there's no wrist definition :) hehe so we're staying with the splint which acts pretty much like a cast but we can take it off to wash her arm so it doesn't get too stinky.
Her boo boo hasn't stopped her or dampened her spirit. She's still crawling and climbing onto couches.
She has a cute little Snoopy sling that is supposed to help to immobilize her arm (yeah right!).
The hardest thing of all has been the frustration of not being able to pick stuff up in both hands.
What a sweet trooper baby. I don't know what's with the faces - she really is developing her funny little personality. I'm looking on the bright side that maybe this will teach her to walk on her own...hopefully! She is such a joy in our life. Happy 14 months!

Uh-oh, broken bones already! I hear some kids are accident prone. She looks really happy.
Poor thing! Atleast she looks completely unphased by it all. She is so darn cute!!! Somehow she looks even more loveable!
It's sad, but cute at the same time. Hope she gets better soon! What a cutie.
Wow, she is such a good spirited girl. You really are blessed with a happy little girl Aunt Amanda. Hope she heals fast. She is so adorable.
She is such a cutie! What a strong girl.
Wow! She is such a daredevil. I think Stew would of freaked if that happened to Kylee. Poor Grace. I am excited to see her splint on Saturday.
Oh no! poor girl. Did she cry when it happend? She just looks so happy regardless. How was your intacare experience with a small child who has a broken arm?
Poor baby! It made me so sad to hear about her arm. She looks completely unphased in these pics though, so I feel a little better. :)
She looks adorable with her little arm wrapped up like that. I LOVE her facial expressions in these photos. She is so funny! And I really can't get over how pretty she is.
