Helmet Time!

Our Little Linebacker!
 

He was "borderline" for needing a helmet and after months of fighting repositioning, we don't have to worry about it anymore! After getting it, he was asleep, (with it on,) on the car ride home. No big deal! He is such a trooper. In the past few days, we've worked from having it on one hour at a time to 8 and tomorrow to the full 23 hours a day. He will be sporting the helmet for 3-5 months. I think it's taken me longer to get used to seeing him in it that it took for him to get used to wearing it. SIDS has gone down 40% now that babies sleep on their backs, but the flat head syndrome, (plagiocephaly,) has increased so much that they say 1 out of 5 babies has it. Even with his helmet, he's still sleeping with his head to the right...and sleeping with no problem, just a little sweatier than usual. And if he needs braces on his teeth when the time comes, we'll fix that too!

I think these are the fingers he's determined are the best, which are the same that I liked!
