Re: Helmet time winding down.....

Yeah! Just in time for summer! How old is Grace?

I know what you mean about nature taking over. Dane still likes to

lay his head to the right. He will be out of his first band in 6

weeks or so. This has made the decision to get a second band super

easy!

That is so great Danes time is winding down too. Yes I am sure it is helpful when you know someone personally who has used a helmet/band. I have not known anybody nor have I ever even seen anybody around here whose baby wears one although I hear stories about it! I am sure once Grace is out of hers I will see them everywhere! ~ and Grace
