At Colin's last check-up, we learned there's actually a name for this arm movement.
I thought it was just a funny position when I took the picture, but he was actually performing a near-perfect asymmetric tonic neck reflex. That's the clinical term. It's also known as "the archer." (If this is all common knowledge to people, I'm uncommon.)
Anyway, this is a typical baby movement, but get this: guess what position adults often -- and involuntarily -- strike during an exaggerated yawn. Yep, this one.
