Gravitational Pull: The attraction that one object has for another object due to the invisible force of gravity. The mass of an object affects its gravitational pull. The gravitational pull of the Sun keeps the planets in orbit around it.
This is Rece's head.
Things are attracted to his head. Balls, toys, table legs, the wall...the floor. Pretty much, if the object can move, it will eventually be pulled in by Rece's gravitational force. Although it is comforting that the size of his head isn't big enough to keep something in orbit, as the planets are around the sun. (that could work to my advantage though...hmmm).
So the size of Rece's head is often the topic of conversation in our household. And it has many nicknames...noggin, melon, and Jason referred to it just yesterday as a bowling ball. Sometimes we call him Charlie Brown.
His shirt necks are all stretched out, even with the extra allowance of fabric for typical baby heads. As you stretch and pull the shirt over Rece's head, you can almost hear him thinking "is it going to make it this time?" I think he even holds his breath.
I stopped asking what the measurement is at the doctors office. It's almost embarrassing watching them wrap the tape around his head. (his head is in the 75th percentile, so I guess there are bigger heads out there...yikes!) Rece's eyes look upward like he is scared of the results.
I think he is secretly proud of his head. Sometimes while he is nursing, he will just stroke his head lovingly and sometimes he gives it a little "pat pat." He knows that someday that big head of his will take him places.
Sometimes when he is scooting around on the floor he will just lay his head down. I'm sure it can be exhausting on his little neck to hold that thing up. Maybe thats why he isn't crawling yet, maybe the head is keeping him down?
Rece doesn't have much hair, but I just realized that maybe he does have a lot of hair, there is just too much surface area for it to cover.
Whatever...I like Rece's head. I think it means he is smart.

Hilarious! I'm sure he'll eventually grow into his big noggin as did Adam :)
ReplyDeleteSteph,
ReplyDeleteOne day when Rece is all grown up and ready to leave home for college, your Blog should be made into a book so let's be thinking about a title. It is magnificently done and brings back memories for all of us. Wish I could be here to collect my commission. Hugs!
His head doesnt look big to me. But what am I talking about, Bens head is HUGE!
ReplyDeleteHi Rece, it your uncle Paul, just wanted to let you know that your head at your age should be about 17% of you body mass, but if its 20% thats ok, just more for your mom and dad to love!
ReplyDeleteAh, Stephanie you worry too much, he's inherited it... Look at the size of your Dad's head ... remember when he had to order his police helmet, it had to be special ordered, even says Jumbo on the back (He's not the only police officer with a big head after he received his, many others ordered one for themselves) My little grandson is perfect, just like the rest of them!
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I thought Ernie Lee's head was oversized, but his body and head are perfectly proportioned now. He's only 53 - everything will work out fine. Rece looks perfectly normal. He needs a big head to hold that brain. Is he reading? Grandmother
