We went to Dallas this past week to get Whitten fitted for his blue camo helmet!! Yes, if he has to wear a medical helmet for several months, he is going to at least be stylin'!! They remeasured his head to see if there were any changes from a week ago, ummmm....yes, there were! His differentiation was 6.1 mm and it is now 7.1 mm. This happened in just two short weeks! Yes, that means it's getting worse! The doctor told us that Whitt's head had a huge growth spurt...10 mm....hence the reason his head is now flatter! It sure would have been nice to have his helmet on during that time. The helmet works with growth and this is the prime time to have it on!! We will go back on March 24 to actually get the helmet and have it shaped to his head! I took some pictures of the process. It's pretty basic. They put a silly looking sock on his head and lay him in a laser machine that takes a 3d image of his skull. Warning: This material contains images of a very cute baby with a very flat head!! If flat heads bother you, please do not look any further!
Getting to sock on!
Listening to instructions
Gotta readjust a little!

Now for the flat head pictures!
My cute little ears are a little (ok...a lot) uneven! But the helmet will fix that!
Now here is sleeping beauty! Sweet Charli girl! Yummy Yummy!!!!! She's the tiniest, prettiest little thing I've ever seen!
What amazingly beautiful children. I wonder who their grandparents are?
