Woke Up to a Bloody Lip

Around 7:30 this morning, Baby J. woke up in her crib. I picked her up, and to my surprise, she passed right back out on my shoulder. So I let her sleep on me for a few minutes, and of course, seeing as I was still groggy, I fell asleep too. About 15 minutes later, my daughter woke up, but not in a calm, collected fashion. She woke up by lifting her head as high as she could, and then slamming it down into my lip. My lip connected with my teeth, and immediately, I felt a well of pain spring up from my mouth.

So, I woke up this morning to a bloody lip. My daughter was completely unaware of what happened. Her head is a lot tougher than my face. I gave her to her mommy, and then I inspected the lip. It wasn't too bad, but it stung. Still, I can think of better ways my daughter could have woken me up.
