Mabel the Tornado



Being able to walk at a relatively young age has allowed Mabel to constantly find trouble. She likes to mimic behavior that she considers 'big'. Within micro-seconds she can get herself into some difficult situations. Thus, today she hurt herself several times. First, she climbed up on the foot stool in the kitchen to copy her brother Gavyn who likes jumping off the top. She dove off on her head. Later, she found the surgical instrument that her dad had been working with all morning and had left under the couch. While it likely weighs as much as she does, she lifted it and tried to carry it like her father. Its weight made her fall, causing her to gouge herself in the forehead. Last, while playing with the family this evening in the backyard, she shuffled over to join the kids on the tramp but fell through the springs and into the pit, landing on her face.

Oh, that is so sad. You are going to have to start wrapping her in bubble wrap.
Miss you guys. We love you.

Obviously, this photo was not taken after she suffered all that abuse. This has to be the before shot. Beautiful children. 3 cheers for increasing your posts per month!

She is such a cute little tornado. I can't believe she fell under the tramp.
By the way, Chloe is now WALKING without pulling me around by the finger. I'll warn her about the tramp.
Hey, another cute post name could have been "Lady and the Tramp".
