Cameron learned the hard way...

not to jump out of grocery carts. Joe had Cameron in the cart at Walmart when she decided to stand up. He reached over to pull her back to sitting and before he could reach her she head dived out of the cart. Landed about 3 feet down onto hard concrete. It was the loudest "thwack" you've ever heard. I was an isle over when I heard Joe shout "no" once he realized he wasnt going to reach her in time. I ran around the corner and she was still in the "silent scream" - I know it must have hurt horribly. All night long we checked on her, throughout the night I went in and made sure she was still breathing while sleeping. Overall, one of the most scary things thats ever happened to us. Now she gets buckeled in and tightened up. No more squiriming out of the seat. Ugh - the worries of parenting. I didnt get any pictures of her the night it happened (I was too busy worrying to take pictures, but these are from a day later. As you can see it didn't make a HUGE lump, and the bruising didnt even get that bad. We think its because she managed to get her arms under her just enough that they took some of the shock away from her head.)
