Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 That's great ! Glad to hear the helmet is helping him get a " round " I noticed the same thing with Cece and Dane. Not competing with the flat spot to move their heads really helps! Mom to Dane (DOC Grad 02) and Cece (DOC Band 09/05) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 , That is so great that Andy is rounding out. It's amazing what a round head to use can do for our babies.
