Vacation, Birthday, Injury

We were on a family vacation last week. During that vacation, E turned one. I cannot believe how incredibly quickly that year went by. I mean, B's first year was fast, sure, but this past year? It was a heartbeat. And now my sweet baby girl is a year old. It has been absolutely awesome, watching her grow through her first year. She is an absolute delight, a tiny force of nature, a silly monkey.

Last Thursday, she was playing with her cousin and fell and hit her head. She was dazed and listless, so we called 911. Admittedly, I was basically incapacitated by panic. I won't even try to front. By the time the ambulance arrived, she was more or less back to normal, and by the time we got to the hospital, even more so. We stayed in the ER for about an hour and a half for observation, and in that time, she chowed a bottle and charmed the entire ER staff. Needless to say, this was even more indication that she was back to normal, so we were released. It was just a few hours, but it was the longest few hours of my life.
