I can joke about it now.
Elliot fell out of her highchair this morning and caught herself with her face on the hardwood floor. She bled so much, as you do when you get cut on your mouth. We got the bleeding to stop, got her mostly calmed down, and took her to her pediatician. She got checked out - no signs of loose teeth, concussion, etc. She was a little bruised on her nose (which isn't apparent anymore - and its less than 12 hours since it happened), her upper lip was swollen like a duck, she has a blood blister in the center of her top lip, and a little tiny bit of 'hardwood floor burn' above her right eyebrow. Just before I put her to bed (she was ready at 6:30 - earlier than normal), the swelling was as much as gone. She isn't happy to be eating a clear diet, but tomorrow afternoon or so she can go back to normal.
Anyway, she's okay. Dave and I on the other hand...

Here are the only pics I could get of her. These were taken about 10 hours after "the incident."
