Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. We had an accident happen, and it has taken me a while to be okay with blogging about it. A couple of weeks ago, Blaine was standing on a chair at the table. He leaned against the table and the table skid across the floor. Blaine fell and hit his mouth on the ground. When I went to pick him up, he had blood gushing from his mouth and he was missing a tooth. I tried to stay calm, but I was freaking out! I had him bite on a cold, wet wash rag to stop the bleeding. After a couple minutes Blaine stopped crying, but then I started crying! I found the tooth and put it in a cup of milk. We went to the dentist office, both covered in blood, and they got him back right away. The dentist said he could put the tooth back in but there was no guarantee it would stay in. I had to leave the room while they put the tooth back in. I could hear Blaine crying so, of course, I started crying! It was awful! The dentist said Blaine was only crying because I wasn't there, and that it didn't seem to hurt him at all. Once we got home, Blaine and I sat on the couch and watched a movie. Blaine fell asleep on my chest, he was pretty worn out, and I bawled! My little baby! I felt like such a terrible mom!
Well, that night I noticed Blaine chewing on something. At first I thought he was chewing on his lip because he had bit it when he fell and it was swollen and some of the skin was coming off. Oh no! It was his tooth! It had fallen out and he was chewing on it. So, my baby boy is officially missing a tooth.

He doesn't really seem to notice, but I cried for 2 days straight. Everyone thought I was silly for being upset. They kept saying it wasn't my fault and there was nothing I could do about it, but I still felt awful. Honestly, I still feel bad about it. I'm sure I will always feel bad. Blaine will be thirty years old and I'm sure I will still sometimes cry when we talk about it.
Here are a couple of pictures.
My sweet baby boy.
The tooth. (My mom and Summer said I had to keep it. Weirdos!)

ANnie chipped a tooth last week, and I was so mad because I thought it ruined her smile. Now I realize it just adds to her character. And from the wife of a dentist (like I know anything) he will will be fine, and he is still as cute as ever!
Oh Jenny. We are so much alike. I cry and cry and feel upset for so long after. He is still TOTALLY HANDSOME! No worries though, like you can control the table, right?
On another note, how are you doing?(feeling) We need an updated belly bump picture. Take Care!
Oh no what a traumatizing thing for you! But like everyone said it is definitely not your fault!! You are the sweetest mom ever! I feel totally bad i left in such a hurry the other night from work ( i was stressed out from the day and had just had it!) and i totally forgot to give you the biggest hug and tell you that i have loved working with you and am going to miss having you here! You have been so sweet to me and i just love ya! So have fun at the new branch and keep in touch especially with little updates on eli! love Jamie!
Blaine is still SO cute. Even without a tooth!
Oh Jen, I know how you feel sort of. When Belle started walking she fell on the tile and chipped one of her front teeth. I cried and cried too. One because I felt so bad I had her in too long of pants that she tripped on. (So of coarse it was my fault) Second she was crying so hard and bleeding and it looked like she had been in a fight. And third, ( I am a tiny bit ashamed to admit this ) I was so afraid that she would look funny because she had a chip in her front tooth! But most of the guilt has gone by now, and she is still adorable chip and all. Just like handsome little Blaine! Love ya!
I so proud of you for knowing what to do. Isn't it amazing how you can hold off the tears until you know he'll be okay, then they go crazy on you! I remember the first time Anya fell and hit her mouth. It always bleeds so much when its in their mouth! Luckily I was with some friends and one (who had 3 children) ran to help me because she could tell by the look on my face that I was totally freaked out. I didn't know what to do! So way to go mom! That just shows how awesome of one you are!
