Halloween

Not sure which costume I like the most!

Halloween's Eve

Halloween's Eve

Found the good stuff

Cooper figured out where the rest of his toys were hidden....

Cooper "crawling"

The only thing enticing enough to get him to move is my phone... So it is both bait and the film source!

Bathtime antics

(Check out the tooth!)

Standing up with Mom

Standing up!

Mini-Chris

Fun with the helmet!

It has proved useful for amusing his parents already!

Am I bovvered?

Cooper got his helmet!

(For those who don't understand the subject line, it is an English thing... Google it!)

Fun at the playground!

Not the way the toy maker thought the toy would be used...

Cooper was greatly amusing himself this evening!

Cooper is getting a helmet

Cooper has a mild/medium case of "head flattening". It is both flat overall as well as flat at an angle. See photos below!

He will be getting a helmet fitted tomorrow which should help correct the problem. He will likely wear it for 4-6 months or until Chris and I decide it is good enough.

Over the next few months you will get reports on two numbers. The ratio of the width of his head to the length and the number of millimeters of asymmetry. We are starting at 99% and 14mm. We hope to get to about 90% and 5mm. ("Normal" is in the high 70's and 0mm. I am 76%.)

It was a tough decision but we think we will (and he someday will) be glad we did it.

Pictures below are of a computer screen displaying a 3D image they took of Cooper in order to make the helmet.

New sleeping position

Doesn't look very comfortable to me...

Holding his own bottle!

Not the most efficient meal we have ever had...

So much fun on the swing!

Cooper has his first tooth!

(This actually happened on Monday but all the good pics were on Sarah's camera. . .)

 

Ok, we never actually got a picture of the tooth. But is there, I swear!
