Mama called the doctor...

and the doctor said, "Broken Collar Bone!"

This little monkey climbs everything these days! Friday evening as I was trying to get dinner ready, she kept climbing up on the dining table. I retrieved her several times, but once she did it without me realizing...until I heard the splat on the floor followed by the screaming. She was very clingy and fussy the rest of Friday and Saturday, but we couldn't really tell what was wrong. Then yesterday it was obvious that every time we pick her up (lifting under her arms), she would cry and grab at her neck on the left side. So we took her in this morning. Lucky for her that it is the most easily healed bone in the body. It makes its own cast and heals on its own, so we just have to be careful, lift her by her waist, treat her with otc meds and wait a few weeks. Wow! So our two redheads have each had a broken bone now!

On the up side, she weighed almost 21 lbs! :)
