Tummy Time

Davis had a big day today!  First, we went to meet some friends, Suzanne, Patrick and Jacob Brister and Nicole, Lila and Bennett Parnell at the fountains by the Lakefront.  The bigs kids were having a play group and we were invited to visit too!  We could only stay for about 30 minutes but it was fun while it lasted! Mommy sure enjoyed visiting with everyone.  Here's a pic of Davis and Patrick.  They are one week apart.

Then we went to see our pediatician, Dr. Pamela Richard.  I was a little concerned about Davis' head because it is really flat in the back.  Dr. Richard and her staff are so nice and assured me that I was not a crazy mom and did the right thing by taking him in for my peace of mind.  Anyway, she did agree that his head was indeed flat and said it was probably because he sleeps on his back, etc.  However, she did want to make sure that everything was developing correctly so she decided to take some  x-rays.  So Davis had his first x-rays today!  He was good at first and then cried. It broke my heart but I held it together.  They took 4 shots of his head and found out that everything was fine.  He just needs to sleep on his side now and practice lots of tummy time!  She said in time, his head will be round again.  So we have practicing sitting in the bumpo chair and having much more tummy time!  Davis is such a sweet, happy child! This picture doesn't show that because he was done with tummy time for today!  He has recently discovered his hands and feet and always has his fist in his mouth.
I love my little toodlebug!!!!!!
Do I have to do this?
