A helmet afterall....

Getting the mold of my head.. Plaster was EVERYWHERE!

This is the cast molding of my head (it is drying so they can send it in)

Well, as you many of you know, I have somewhat of a Charlie Brown look (block-head) and it finally came time to make "the decision." Mommy and Daddy decided to have my head fitted for the dreaded helmet. What was first explained to us as a helmet that would only need to be worn at night, will now most likely be worn 23 hours a day. The time frame for wearing this crazy thing is anywhere from 4-8 weeks on average. Since I am a little older and wiser, it could take a longer than this for my head to round-out. Mommy is a little more relieved that she won't have to try the repositioning suggestions at night, especially now that I roll all over my crib. Here is a picture of the little boy who is the model for OrthoAmerica, the manufacturer of my helmet. He is wearing the Safari Animals helmet, which is the one Mommy ordered for me too (Daddy wasn't too excited about the pattern).

It's not so bad, right!?!?

The helmet should arrive in a week to two weeks and I will keep you posted on how it is going for me! Onto happier news, I had my first haircut on Saturday at The Garage. I know it isn't the most manly place to go, but Mommy wanted my first haircut to be just right. I think Daddy would have preferred that I went to Sports Clips or a Barber Shop for just boys. Here are the pictures of my big day!

Waiting for my turn (you can now see my flat back of head here)

After... SO handsome!

My Official Certificate and Lock of Hair (Mommy loves these little "trinkets" for scrapbooking!)

We also remembered the camera for KinderMusik this week, so here are a few pictures of me at music class.

Mommy and Daddy swing me (hammocking) for a lullaby and yes, I am still holding that silly little drum. I love that thing!

And finally, using the fun little shaker and STILL holding onto that drum! I am my own band!
