Weigh in

Arthur had his 1 month visit to the doctor today.  He's doing fine, and weighed in at 9lbs 2oz, up from 7lbs 15oz at 10 days old.  He was in an exceptionally good mood and hardly cried at all, even when he got a shot.

9lbs 2oz
For any psych geeks out there, here is Arthur doing the tonic neck reflex, also called the fencing reflex. (I took the picture for class...poor kid.)
Tonic neck - left
Tonic neck - right

Laying flat, head turned to one side, his arm and leg on that side extend while the arm and leg on the other side bend.

  1. Did you coach him to get the 'tonic neck reflex' right?
