Helmet Time!

So on Preston's 7 month birthday he got an extra special present... His helmet. Chip and I were both nervous the night before that he would hate it and it would be uncomfortable, but our worries were quickly taken away when we got into the Dr's office and he slipped Preston's helmet on with ease. Preston literally had no idea it was even on his head. He laughed, smiled, and continued to play with the Dr while he told us all about the care and treatment of the helmet. We will go in every 2-3 weeks to get the inside of his helmet shaved down to make room for it to grow in the correct way. The Dr said that he will need to wear the helmet anywhere between 3-6 months, depending on fast he grows. We started out with 1 hour on/1 hour off schedule, then built up to 2 on/ 2 off and now he is wearing it 23 hours a day and is doing great. One of my big concerns was how he was going to feel sleeping in it, but it almost seems like he sleeps better now. He still rolls around and climbs and attempts to crawl just like when he had no helmet. Needless to say I am not concerned one bit anymore, I am just very very thankful for whoever invented the helmet.
