Who's that cute kid in the helmet?

Carter has been wearing his cranial orthotic full time (23 hours a day) for the last week. He adjusted to it pretty easily (not surprising since he's such a good tempered kid). He doesn't mind it at all during the day. I think it's a little uncomfortable for him at night. He'll wake up once or twice a night and just needs to move around and get comfortable. It is making it more difficult to roll around and hold his head up. It's taking a little longer to adjust than I was hoping, but we're back in PT tomorrow, so we'll keep working on it.

For the most part, he's recovered from the surgery. He's off all meds and doesn't seem to be in any pain. We'll have a check up with the surgeon in a couple weeks, but all looks good at this point.

He must be feeling better because we had quite a growth spurt this week. He was hungry all the time and was taking good long naps. At 10 months old, he loves bananas, strawberries, bread, cheese, and whatever we're eating for dinner that I put in the grinder. He's still not a great eater, but he likes his finger foods. If only he would feed himself. He'll pick up all the food and play with it, but won't put it in his mouth. That's what we're working on in OT. Hopefully we'll have some of this stuff handled before he turns 1.
