For the last few weeks, at the recommendation of our pediatrician, we have been taking Peter to a place called Cranial Technologies in Pasadena. Peter has a small flat spot on the back of his head. It is a little more pronounced on his right side than his left. At Cranial Technologies, they took a bunch of photos and measurements, and recommended that he wear a DOC band for 3-4 months to round out his head. He wears the band for 23 hours a day (with an hour off for bath time, etc), and hopefully after a couple of months, he will have a perfectly round noggin.
In order to fit him for the band, they had to create a 3D model of his head. So, they put a stocking over his head to create a smooth surface. So sorry, Peter. (He didn't mind.)
Next, he was photographed by these special cameras that created the 3D model.

We went back yesterday to pick up the band and make sure it fit. It does.
Peter seems pretty happy about it.
And tired.
Now, I just have to decorate the band. Any suggestions? Our pediatrician suggested a Lakers theme. Um... Probably not.

If it's even possible, I think it makes him cuter. I say decorate it with something from Fred Segal.
What a great sport! He does look cute in it!!!
He is the best little boy in the whole world--so tolerant, so happy, and cute as can be. I can't wait to see him.
I think the caterpillar idea on the band is a perfect idea.
What a good sport! He is precious.
