Re: JADEN'S photo's - opinions needed please!

[Guest guest]

Amy,

I think Jaden's head is looking much better! I do see the flatness

you're talking about in the Plagio6 picture, but overall, I think

the improvement is great! Jaden is so cute!

Hi Amy,

I too, think Jaden is comin' along. And, with the bottom poppin out

and the top not yet.... it will. The top (if I remember correctly) is

the last part to pop out. This was the case with Jax as well... his

top just never really popped out much. But, that means the cap is

workin'.

Did you ever get the info from CT?

Hello Amy

I think Jaden looks wonderful for being in the cap only 61/2wks. I

do know what you are talking about when you say the top is still

flat. Growth occurs from the bottom up so the top is the last to

round out. In my daughter's case it didn't round out as nicely as I

thought it could have, but 4months after grad and some post rounding

we are happy with her noggin. Good luck to Jaden.

Hi Amy,

I can definitely see Jaden's progress! Isn't it exciting when you

like them all up like that? Especially when you just compare the

first one to the last one!
