In 4 Months Callen has been to:

Fixing the Flat - 2 weeks

Callen has been in his band for 2 weeks now and things have been going really well.  His head grew 5mm in the first week and 0mm this week.  I'm not to worried about the lack of growth this week because of his massive growth the first week.  His head is starting to look much better and it looks like he'll be out of his band in 4 more weeks (6 weeks in the band).  Here are the latest pictures of my little man in his band and one of him out of it.

Ummm

I love this shirt, I don't think I'm overprotective

 but I did get asked if he was in the helmet to protect his head while in the Ergo

Fixing the Flat - First Day

Callen got his band today.  I must say so far so good but we'll see how tonight goes.  He sure is cute though.

Fixing the Flat - Last Day of Helmetless Fluffy Hair and Our Activities

Tomorrow Callen will enter into Cranial Technologies with a head full of fluff (I'm not sure I'd call it hair) and will exit with a helmet full of fluff.  He'll have an adjustment period but will have to wear it for 23 hours a day for about 6-8 weeks.  Here are the few pictures of his fluffy head before he gets banded:

100 Days Old - good thing I won't have to hide his eye lashes

 See not much hair, just fluff

 And because this is a trip and travel blog here are some pictures of our activities over the last few days:

 Friday was such a nice day - Tavish had a great time playing in his shorts

Today: no shorts but fun sledding

 Callen not too sure about this sledding thing

 This is how Callen fell asleep with his arms up

Mission Control

 Now time for a snack (frozen breastmilk in a bag) Yum.

With a combination of bad weather and the fact I'm still not feeling great, we spent the last few days at home but we did have fun.

Fixing the Flat

Well as some of you might know Callen has plagiocephaly or a flat head.  Today we went in to get a 3D image of his head so that they can make his band aka helmet.  The photo process was pretty painless and they did get a good photo.  I am thankful he did not have to get a cast made as that looks much more uncomfortable.  It was really interesting seeing the 3D afterward and where his flat spots are.  Callen's plagiocephaly was mainly formed while in utero which which makes me feel better.  I really did try to prevent it by switching the side of the crib he sleeps on, giving him lots of tummy time, and using the carrier a lot.  While I think had I gone to the chriopractor right off the bat it would not have been so bad but hind sight is alway 20/20.  Regardless he has to get a band and I'm going to make the most of it.  I must say I'm looking forward to decorating it.
