2 things

I would like to begin this post by stating that I often run into glass doors, trip on carpets, and miss steps that have signs posted above them saying, "Please Watch Your Step"...with that in mind I would like to share with you what happened to me this morning. I got to see Stella for the first time in over a week, basically fireworks flew and she started screaming "Nanny...Nanny", or that is what she would have said had she not been speechless over her excitement of my return. Anyway, I am on the floor cooing and ooing over her and lifting her up and flipping her around when suddenly I go to sit up and my entire neck stiffens and sends shooting pains up towards my ears. I literally have to stop mid sit up due to the pain the weird sensation from my neck up continues until I identify it's source. It was coming from some muscles right underneath my chin. I then precede to go ask Katy if you can pull a muscle under your chin...her first response is laughter due to the odd questions which makes me adore her even more b/c that is exactly how Cody would respond. If I asked my mom that question she would probably say, "No way I pulled the same muscle last week!" So anyway realizing I was actually serious she said you definitely can b/c there are a lot of muscles underneath there, but you are probably just having a cramp and it will subside. Well the pain has subsided, however when I swallow or tilt my head backwards it is still painful like a muscle strain. You know I work out and run so you would think pulling a hamstring, quad, or even my back would make more sense. I could see breaking an arm or spraining a toe, but when my husband asks me why I am not working out today I am going to have to respond with a whopping, "Because Dear I pulled a muscle underneath my chin while sitting up!"

In other news... STELLA IS CRAWLING!!!!! I would like to think that Stella is crawling a little early due to the crawling exercises that I do with her daily (Dusty calls it baby aerobics). Katy also works on her crawling and does the exercises with her. I also demonstrated on a daily basis proper crawling techniques...if there is a nanny cam Dusty and Katy had a bawl watching that one! I got some great video of her crawling today and no that is not "Party Favorites" music going on in the background...
