Day at the doc's

Today we had a doctor’s appointment and visited MiMi and her friends at work.

Holden now weighs 7 pounds and 12 ounces and he is 21 inches long. We really like his doctor. She loaded us with lots of baby literature to read “in our spare time.” The doctor was impressed with his luxurious locks and said he looked like Jack Nicholson (Holden was sporting a mohawk), his big hands and feet, and his neck “babies don’t usually have necks!”

After visiting with MiMi it was “tummy time.” We put Holden on his belly occasionally to help prevent a flat head, but his doctor suggested more. Unfortunately, Holden is not a fan so we do not look forward to this. We put him on his belly and as expected he started wailing and flipped himself over on his back. We rolled him back to his tummy and he again turned over to his back. Should he be able to do that already? He’s been holding his head up, or at least trying very hard to hold his head up on his own since he arrived. Must be that baby neck!

When he screams, he looks like Yoda. “Care for tummy time I do not.”
