Adding Grey Hair

  Oh Riley. Well last Friday we had some excitement. Riley & I were yard sale shopping, finding some great bargains! She got some clothes and toys of course. ;) Our biggest bargain was a playpen for $20! My mom & grandma talked me into it. Now that I have it home I realize it was a good buy especially now that she's moving around more I don't have to worry every time I walk out of the room. I actually found the original sales receipt on the box, it was originally $180!

  Now onto the real excitement ...not the fun kind either! I was giving her a bath before bed and afterwards got her our to dry her off. I sat her on our bathmat and she was being her usual squirrel self. She kept trying to grab my shirt to stand up. I reached into the cabinet to get her diaper out and she tried to grab me to stand up. Well she was about to smack her head on the bathroom cabinet and I instinctively grabbed her arm. Then heard a loud pop and her arm went limp. :( She yelled for a minute, but then settled down. I could tell her arm wasn't moving right though and assumed something was out of socket. We took her to the emergency room, after x rays and everything they confirmed her elbow had just popped out. The doctor reset it and we were good to go. Cross your fingers it doesn't happen again!! I am no longer letting her hold onto my hands to pull herself up to hopefully help prevent this.

Here's her playing in her new playpen.
