Aleysha's mother, Carolyn, has just arrived from out of town and seen her 3-month-old grandson, Cameron, for the first time. Carolyn exclaims, "What are you feeding this roly-poly hunk? He looks overweight to me." Aleysha is shocked. She didn't think a baby could be overweight. Should she cut back on his feedings?

Tina, who has three children, volunteers to babysit for her friend Natalie's 5-month-old boy so that Natalie can go on a job interview. As Tina is undressing Dylan, she thinks it's odd that he doesn't seem to be able to turn over in his crib. When she cradles him in her arm to bathe him, he feels "floppy" and appears to lack muscle strength. Is Dylan evidencing any motor developmental delays?
