Andrew has been in his helmet for a week and a half now and is adjusting really well. At his one-week follow up appointment (after getting the helmet) the orthotic doc said Andrew may only need to be in the helmet for one month! Yea! I guess it just depends how round we want his head. The doctor talks in terms of cephalic ratio, and said Andrew may be w/in the normal range soon. Doug and I aren't so concerned about the percentage though; when his head looks normal we'll be done with the helmet! :) So Andrew's doing well and Jake only asks occasionally for us to take the helmet off. Usually when he wants to give Andrew a kiss. He wears it 23 hours a day. We usually give him a 15 minute break in the morning to wash his hair and the helmet, and then in the evening for a bath.

We're (read: Laurel) really excited for Christmas even though we won't be going anywhere this year. Anyone else ready for the holidays?!
