Cruisen for a Bruisen

This blog title is is more then just a fun saying dad's use to threaten their children, it is a literal prophesy every 5 minutes with Jax. This kid just might already have brain damage from the amount of head trauma his head has trauma'd. Strangly, he seems to be pretty cordinated in most other areas. Too bad this area is a little more important then being able to dribble a ball... :)

Sadly, it seems as though his head just might be too big, if you can imagine that, for his little arms to catch. When the child falls, he doesn't fall or catch himself with his hands, he goes straight from his feet, to being in the air, then, straight to his head, all of his 25lbs being caught by that big naugin. His arms play no role in the "falling". Stoping yourself with your arms when you fall is something, that as parent's, you just can't teach. We are hopeing he starts self learning very soon. His poor head...

Here is some documentation. I will explain, as you are not able to see the evidence very well in these fetching pictures...

Note the 3 inch long "line bruise" on the top right hand side of his face. This was caused by the door runner to our master closet.

It is hard to see but he has 3 owie's in the top left of his head. One about 1 inch long bruise bump--ran into a drawer edge. One scrap almost at the top of his head--in his hair, i can't even remeber what that was from, i know it was a fall.... then some little remnence of another fall you can kind of see on the side of his forehead.

His lip and stuff, narled up whilst camping this last weekend, fat, bloody lip... :(
And bear in mind this is just the last few days and these are just the "evidences" of falling, MANY a time has he fallen and not nesesarily made a lasting welt. Heaven help my child.


As a testiment to his prone-ness to accidents and the like i give you, this video: The story of Jax's life. not a dramitization...

ps. if anyone has any ideas on how to help him catch himself more effectivly, or at all, for that matter, do share.

In conclusion: We LOVE this kid.
