One Tooth, Large Brain
Well, on Monday this week, Kayl had to go get an ultrasound on his head. The reason? His head is flip’n huge! Not really disproportionate to his body, but on his last doc visit, his head diameter measured in the range only about 3% of babies are in. The doc said we should have it checked “just too be sure nothing was wrong”.
Anyway, during the ultrasound it took two adults (Christy and myself) to hold Kayl down, one adult to help hold while using the ultrasound wand, and another adult to dance in front of Kayl to distract him. That’s right, 4 adults to subdue a 7 month old! I think he was using some Jedi mind trick on us because he was freakishly strong…
Later that day, we found a tooth crowning on his bottom jaw! So now, with his first tooth coming in, he goes around with his tongue flopped out because he likes the feeling of something poking into the underside of it.
Thursday we got the results in from the ultrasound. It was as expected: His head is huge because his brain is very large and he is trying to take over the world with his mental powers. They recommended using a superhuman cranial dampener on his so that he doesn’t accidentally disintegrate one of the dogs while he discovers his new mental powers….
…OK, I made up the part about the superhuman thingy. But everything is fine with him - his brain is just large!
