Helmets happen...

There are many...MANY...many things people don't tell you about when you become a parent. One of which is that your baby's head can go flat. :( Our little Matt man has loved his left side since birth. We noticed it, then cranked our own heads side to side and decided we preferred a side too. Yes, people this is the caliber of parenting Matty is dealing with unfortunately. It wasn't until his 4 month baby appointment that the doctor said the dreaded words "uh oh" while examining him...apparently those 4 months of laying to the left had caused his head to become ever so slightly misshaped. As a new mother, of course I freaked out but the doctor assured me that this was very common and very easily fixed. We took him to the recommended cranial place and a few short weeks later he was sporting a fancy new helmet. It breaks my heart that he has to wear it but he could really care less. The people at the cranial place are wonderful and we get to spend time with my parents every week when we drive up to Orange County for his appointments. I even decorated it for baseball season. :) At the last appointment he had shown so much improvement that it looks like we can say goodbye to the helmet in 4 weeks. Hooray!

*** Unfortunately Matty's mama didn't read the fine print on how to seal her paint job and had to peel it off a week later :( I plan to attempt it again this weekend :)
