Today
I was checking my emails and he was right beside me in his bouncer, staring at his fingers (which he does a lot lately). I only glanced at my monitor and after a split nanosecond I looked at him again and saw his nose bleeding. He scratched his nose--no, he sliced it with his fingernail. He sliced it pretty bad and it wouldn't stop bleeding so I had to put a little band-aid on it. Lucas had his first injury today.
I try to keep up with his fast-growing fingernails by trimming it once in every two or three days. I remember just trimming them the other day right after I gave him a bath. I guess I have to do it more often. We don't put mittens on him because it hinders his ability to explore.
I know that kids are prone to injuries so this is going to be the first of many. As a mom, all I can do is be prepared for it and take precautions.

I received an email from the editor of Schmap.com--an online city guide (similar to citysearch.com). They wanted to publish a link to one of my photos on their website. To see it, click here or just go to Schmap.com, select San Francisco, then Conservatory of Flowers and browse through the photos. There are so many photos, you may not see it if you're not patient enough but it's there! =)
To some photographers, this is nothing. But to me, it's quite something. At least one website editor (or staff) recognized my work and I'd be lying if I say I'm not flattered.

Thank you Chel! my photos are inspired by talents like you and the other photo enthusiasts that I stalk here in the Blog world! =)
You're absolutely right--injuries are a part of growing up and no matter how "luoy" the kids are when they get injured, it's also a way for them to learn to be more careful the next time. I will definitely document them =)

Yeah, dali ra mo-heal ang cuts and wounds sa baby--one great advantage of being young, hehe! After a day, ni-dry na iya cut and hopefully another day mo-fall off na ang dried tissue and his face will be back to normal.
congrats sa photo coverage. they should posts all your sfo photos. and be exclusive. =)
