Guest guest Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Hi . I hope you had a good weekend! I also hope that your Sophie grew this weekend!!! It does seem like they are always growing. I used to have so many clothes for Jake, now we have none. He has been growing so fast. He is a huge boy. At 9 months he was 23 lbs and 30 inches! Anyhow, I'm praying that Sophie does a lot of growing in the next couple months!!! Overall, Jake's helmet is a good fit. But, yes, around the ears never seems the same on both sides. Right now his is rubbing on the left ear a little and also on the right cheek. I don't know if I should wait it out until his next appt.(there are no really red marks) or go in for an adjustment early? Jake's helmet does not move around much at all, but it always shifts to the left.....ahhh! However, today when i was giving him his bath I was thinking how great his head is looking! It seems like it has really corrected a lot!!! The 4+ weeks have really gone by fast. The first week or so seemed the longest and now time is just flying by! We were told originally 3-4 months in the band. I really want it off before his 1st b-day (July 24).....but we'll see how he does. If he continues to do as well as he has been hopefully we will be done in another 6- 8 weeks!!! I'm so sorry for all of your frustrations with your ped, etc.... Have you decided if you will switch doctors? It is really important to have a doctor that you like and trust and that listens to your concerns! I would love to see pictures of Sophie. It really wasn't hard to post them. I think the butterfly print is really adorable...I bet she's a cutie in her band!!! Take care.
