We had a bit of surprise this weekend when Harrison stopped bearing weight on his left arm - he is still eating with it (because, of course, he loves to eat and it only requires a back and forth movement) but he will not use it to crawl or pull up. Todd has taken to calling him Igor because of his one armed hunch back crawl. The pediatrician on Monday thought that it may be whats called 'nurse maids elbow', which means that one of the tendons in the elbow is displaced, that likely occurred during a fall. Unfortunately I have idea when it happened - he seems to be falling a lot with cruising around and pulling up on everything. The doctor manipulated his arm but it has not improved. So, we are making our way to the orthopod for evaluation and probably some x-rays tomorrow morning. Kind of crazy, the poor guy could have fractured his elbow!! One of the nurses told us that this is so common that they call it 'toddler's fracture'. I guess we will just take it as it comes and wait to see what happens.
Despite the gimpy arm Harrison is as happy as can be lately. He laughs at everything, is babbling away in his own little language, and basically loves life!
