Have you heard of them? Stork bites? Elise has a stork bite on her nose.
Stork bites are these little places on a baby's skin that show up pink when the baby is upset. Babies usually have them on their heads somewhere if they have them. When Elise was born and I saw the mark on her nose, I thought it was a bruise at first. Or a birthmark. Then I noticed that it faded away when she was calm and popped back up when she was upset.
Stork bites fade over time and they're usually gone in a year or so. Elise's is already less pronounced than when she was born.
Stork bite. Sometimes I get this image of a stork flying through the clouds, holding my baby by her little nose.
