Update to the Carly falling story

Apparently, EVERYONE has done this at least once per kid, but no one talks about it until someone else admits it first. When I started telling people about my little mishap, almost every person who has children said, "Oh, I've done that x times." I wonder if there are any accurate statistics of how many babies have fallen off of things and not been injured. I'm guessing about 9 out of 10, at least. Are we a society full of non-attention-paying parents or what!? haha

My Mom didn't fess up to dropping my sister as a wee baby on her head on the concrete floor until my Sis was in high school wearing black nail polish and lipstick! My sis never fessed up to the acid ;)

I personally have never been responible for my kids falling but they have several times! B was to blame for Jonathan falling at 3 months old, he left him propprd up on the sofa to go get another beer...(yeah, you know I let him have it for that one!). A few months back, Jon & Ansley were playing on the couch, she was trying to wipe boogers on Bubba and he tried to block her with his leg and BAM! I don't know how she landed upside down, but he couldn't stop crying worrying Sissy had a concussion!
We've had our share of ER visits, kids will be kids,they don't come with instructions, thats why they're so rubbery! And did you know you aren't born with knee caps? They are fully formed by the time you turn 4! (ER wisdom haha!)

Nope, not 'non-attention-paying parents' just really quick babies! Yes, babies are soft and squishy for a reason, they bounce very well... (No, I didn't drop either of you girls, but Cody managed to fall off the couch on his head...)
