Olympic Hopeful




I think all the Olympic events we watched during the first few weeks of Harrison's life have rubbed off on him. He has taken a strong liking to his activity mat. His training has begun...for which event we are not quite sure. We are happy to report that we don't have to rule out track and field events though. Harrison had his follow-up appointment with an orthopedic specialist today. He spent the majority of his 9 months in utero sitting on his feet. When he was born, his feet were purple and turned slightly. The doctor today saw no issues with his feet and predicted he will be running before we know it. She did, however, determine that he slightly favors turning his head one way (another effect of being in cramped quarters in the breach position) so we will be doing a few physical therapy sessions. Once again, nothing to be concerned about and nothing that can't be easily treated. I just hope this is the last of the "nothing's to be concerned about" for Harrison! I am just viewing the physical therapy sessions as us giving Harrison a jump start on his atheletic career. (Let's just hope he has his father's traits in that department!)
