Yes, Beau Berry has a flat head. We really didn't know this could happen but it did. When he was an infant, he really loved his swing and we let him sit in at all the time. Not like neglecting him, but he is a second child. Here he is in his favorite swing.
Well, believe it or not, I can't find a picture of him in that swing. But here he is flattening his head in the car seat:
We were hoping that he would grow out of the flat head in time. We even held him upright and didn't let him lay down except for sleeping in hopes that his head would round out. As much fun as that was, it was to no avail. We were sent to the head specialist who said he needed to wear a baby helmet. Ugh. It will only be for around 10 weeks but we are promised a perfect head. And since Beau Berry is going to be QB1 for the Dallas Cowboys, he needs to have a perfect head.
So Chase took him in to get fitted for the helmet. We were told by my friends and family who have had to have the helmet for their kids that there would be a big plaster cast made of his head and the helmet would be fitted from that. Well, times have changed! All they did was put this beanie cap on him and scan him with a barcode type laser. That's it! Here is the pic of Beau in the beanie:
Cute, no? These days, they offer helmets with a decorative print and we chose one. He gets his helmet next Monday - look for pics for the big reveal!
