So this afternoon I decided to let Desmond play in the bathtub for a bit, since he likes to play with his toys in the bubbles. So he was happily playing something like the picture below.

Anyways as he was standing up he slipped and hit his eye on the edge of his toy or the tub, I figured he was fine and was playing with him some when I noticed his eye was bleeding. Eek! So we quickly got him out of the tub, and dried off so I could look at his eye. DH got home right around then and we called the doctor. It was a little bloodly and cut, but we couldn’t see anything in the eye, so we figured it was probably just a surface injury out the eye. The service said they would have the doctor call us back. My in-laws were over so Desmond was playing with them happily, so we figured he was doing okay. We realized it had been about an hour so we called back the service and talked to the doctor, she suggested heading to the ER just to check and make he hadn’t broken his eye bone. So we all packed up and had a family field trip to the ER.

Once we got the ER we were quickly checked in and moved back to pediatrics, much faster then with an adult, nice benefit of being 13 months I guess. The nurse came in and checked out his eye, and said the doctor would be with us shortly. The doctor checked him out and decided he didn’t need an x-ray and it was just a cut. So we all happily headed to dinner. So today’s adventure was a nice visit to the ER with Desmond because of his eye. Below are some of the pictures of him with the nurse looking at his eye and a close up of his eye.

I found a bunch of pictures of Desmond on my small camera card so here is a random assortment of Desmond from the past few weeks. One is of him at Gymboree, two are him in the laundry basket and the rest are him eating a brownie.

We took Desmond to the Zoo about 2 weeks ago now. We all had lots of fun and Desmond really enjoyed seeing the animals. This is the first visit we’ve taken where he stayed awake for the whole trip and saw all the animals. Here are a couple of pictures from our adventure.

Here he and Dan are looking at the Sloth Bear:

Here they are looking at one of the hippos:

Here they are looking at a Tiger:

Here are a couple of silly Desmond faces:

Desmond loves to climb so sometimes we find him in the most interesting places, like on top of the dining room table. Or in this case on top of the table next to the chair, sitting by Dan’s monitor.

So I will give Desmond some of my desert sometimes, and he really loves chocolate. Especially brownies. He feels that eating is a full body experience and these pictures show of his joy of eating his piece of brownie.

Desmond likes to draw, he loves using his crayons to make pictures. We also tried finger paints and paint brushes, which he isn’t as sure about. Anyways here are a bunch of pictures of him painting and drawing and some pictures of his works. Painting is a full body experience and involves both touch and tasting the paints. Which is why we don’t paint that often yet. For those wondering I am pretty sure he is a lefty, he tends to do most things with his left hand.

So Desmond loves the water, however he has found that he can climb out of the bath tub and that is even more fun then playing in the water. Here are a few pictures of the little escape artist as he escapes from taking a bath.

Here is Desmond (and K-line) walking to the park with my in-laws.

Desmond went to the park on Sunday with my in-laws here is a video of him on the swing while there.

I have a bunch of pictures of the munchkin to post, but I haven’t taken them off the camera card yet, there are some from the zoo, some from the milk festival and some of him eating a brownie. I will try to get them up tomorrow or Monday depending on how I feel with the hives and all.
