is ALWAYS falling. I can't imagine any child falling more than him. He falls more now that he is a good walker than he did when he was learning! Last week he fell face first into our hardwood floor and busted his face open. Today he fell and got a knot on his head!
There isn't anything I can do, I just feel so bad! Do all kids fall this much? Or is Christopher exceptionally clumsy?

Is here somewhere around age 2? I remember when my kids were 2 how hard it was to get their pic done without some sort of bruise on their face. It is probably normal!

My kids are the same way, it's nearly impossible to get pics taken without bruises. I think it's just a normal toddler thing.

Alissa was the same way between 1 and 2 she always managed to fall and hit her forehead. Had a bruise there all the time.
And Christopher is at what 15 months so falls can be expected.

I've heard the ones that fall more tend to get very good at it. I know my son (3) can tumble all over the place (often intentionally) now and come up grinning and he was always taking falls when he was younger.

It's painfull to watch but it's a good skill to develop. LOL

I know exactly what you mean, Rylee is the same way. I think that they think that they are faster then they really are, and then they just get out of control and fall. Sometimes I think that Rylee actually falls on purpose. Too funny.
