Where has this been all my life!?!

Monday was my birthday and the day started off kind of rough for Megan. She was drinking her milk out of a sippy cup after breakfast and she slipped and fell on her face. The sippy cup was pushed into her mouth causing a lot of bleeding. She didn't cry very long, but after 15 minutes of me not being able to stop the bleeding I called the doctor and they told me to come in so they could look at it. I quickly changed my shirt, since it looked like a scene from a horror movie and off we went. 3 minutes later and still bleeding we just needed to wait for the nurse to call us back. When we got back in the room, the bleeding had stopped, but Megan was crying again.
After holding her down so the doctor could look in her mouth, he said that her teeth were fine (it looked like they had been pushed up into her gums) but what really happened was she tore a little piece of her gums. She tore the little piece that you can feel if you put your finger in between your tip lip and gum. Since that was torn it just made it look like her teeth were pushed into her gums. She is fine, but her smile looks a little different now. I think the worst part for Megan was not being able to brush her teeth for a few days.
So after the rough day and in celebration of my birthday we went for ice cream and Megan got to enjoy her first ice cream cone! (Grandma Schutte should be so proud) The first picture is of her first taste and this picture is the after thought of her first taste.
Here she is trying to figure out how to lick the cone. She was doing little quick licks to start...
...but quickly figured out how to take one big lick!
She even liked the soggy cone! It took her a while to finish the cone, but she was very neat and clean the whole time. So I'm sure that more ice cream cones are in her future!
Oh and you'll notice the cheesy looking clip in her hair. When I first started putting a clip in her hair to keep it our of her eyes, she sat still and liked having her hair done. Now she likes it when I comb her hair and spray stuff in it, but the second a clip gets close to her head she says "oww" even though I'm not touching her. So in order to get a clip in, I have to give her something exciting to hold and clip it ASAP. The results aren't perfect but her hair is out of her eyes.

Love the ice cream cone. Girls are so neat when they eat. She will enjoy many more ice cream cones this summer.

Yum! Ice cream is one of my favorite things about spending time with my in-laws! I love that there are so many ice cream places to visit in Adrian!

Cute shirt too Megan! Your Mommy and I must have the same great taste in cute clothes! :)
