Doodle was described almost as a wrinkly old man. He wasn't quite the normal color either because his heart was so weak. HIs head was a lot larger than the rest of his body, too. He just did not look like a normal little baby as he should have.
The story describes him in the following sentence. "He seemed all head with a tiny body which was red and shriveled like an old man's."
Doodle most likely had a big smile for a baby. It was that smile that saved his life when Brother went into his room to smother him--he couldn't live with a brother who wasn't "all there." But Doodle smiled. He was all there.
