So, our little guy is sitting up (kind of)!! I don't think it will be too much longer before he's not taking face plants into the floor!! And yes, the comforter that he is on is mine from the 9th grade!!!!!
Look, Mommy! I'm a big boy!
OOhhhh...steady!!! (You can really see my flat head from this angle!!)
Whoops! Down I go!
Ahh, this isn't too bad!
And here is our little linebacker. Aint he cute!?
So the helmet process is going well so far! The official fitting was a nightmare! It was right smack in the middle of nap time, and Whitt was having none of it! He screamed bloody murder every time we put the helmet on him (we had to practice), and was a happy camper as soon as we took it off! I thought for sure this helmet thing was going to be miserable. So after driving to Addison and back in one day (a total of 12 hour in the car), our "day 1" was to start the next day! The schedule was...on one hour, off one hour, on one hour, off one our...all day! No sleeping in the helmet! Sweet baby boy did awesome!!!!! Didn't seem to bother him one bit! Today was day 2. On 2 hours, off 1 hour, and so on...no sleeping in it. So I put it on as soon as he woke up. He wore it for 2 hours and I took it off when he went down for his nap. As soon as he was up, it was back on for another 2 hours until he was back down for his nap. After his second nap, we left it on until bed time....4 whole hours. He doesn't wear it for 23 hours a day until day 5. After day 5, it's on for 23 hours a day for 2-5 months (1 hour off so he can take a bath and to clean the helmet). I can't wait for his little noggin to be round again! ; ) Not that I don't like his super cool helmet, but we have to go back and forth to Dallas every other week during this process! UGH!!!! Most of the time it will just be me and Whitt flying in and flying out in one day. So, let's just hope he has some big growth spurts during this time and his head rounds out in no time!!!!!!!!
