Too Big? Too Strong?

Zayden Samuel is a big strong boy.  After talking a lot with Mike, I actually made him an appointment with an OMM this week because we were concerned that he was "too strong" and "too stiff."  We were having trouble getting his legs bent up to go in the Ergo, his limbs always seemed so stiff to us, he arches his back a lot.... It's a very fine line to cross when it comes to knowing whether your child isn't doing something because they can't or won't.  
The OMM examined him all over and agreed that he does hold himself stiffly, however all his tone was fine.  She did work his back in one spot, but otherwise he checked out a-okay.  Yep, that's right, I took my kid to a doctor to have someone tell me he's a stubborn trouble causer!

See his torso and legs up and off the ground in the bottom right picture?  Superman!
 Such an ornery little sugar!
He's started reaching and playing with toys, and a couple of times I've seen him roll from his back to tummy.  He's also scooting around by pushing his feet.  He IS strong!
 

Friday night Andrea and I (and tag-along Zayden) went to help Lauren put together her baby's new crib.  Zayden checked the crib and bassinet for quality and comfort!
I gave Zayden a bath in the big bath tub last night.  He wasn't a fan, but he'll get there!
We love you, our very strong little man!  Even if you are stubborn!
