Occupational Hazard

By Andrea

On a much lighter note, yesterday I got a hickey for the first time in...eight years? Ten? FROM THE BABY. Becca has recently decided that everything near her mouth must be apprehended and sucked on, and she doesn't quite have the motor skills to pick up her all of her toys yet, but if something is right in front her her, like MOM'S ARM, all bets are off.

I was carrying her around the house kind of sideways yesterday, and she started gumming my bicep, and then she latched on hard like the biggest, cutest leech you've ever seen, but I still didn't think much of it until I pulled her off and there was a mottled red mark on my arm the size of my thumb, which is still there today.

I was amazed. "Is that...a HICKEY?" I asked the baby, but she wasn't really interested since she had already shoved her fist into her mouth and started sucking anew. This was not in my baby book.
