March Madness Part 2: The Helmet

Savannah was fitted for her helmet on the 21st of March.  Dr. T wants her to wear it for 8 weeks to help protect and shape her skull as it heals. 

First time in the helmet

I was pretty nervous about how she'd adjust to wearing it, but true to form, she took it like a champ.  Other than some serious head sweat the first few days, it didn't seem to bother her much. 

It's wayyyyy cuter than I anticipated! 

She's allowed to have the helmet off for 1 hour per day to let her skin breathe and to wash her smelly head.  Every evening when we take it off she starts rubbing her head back and forth, dying for some good scalp scratching (a la Baloo the bear in The Jungle Book).  I, of course, am more than happy to help her out!

It's turning out to be quite the accessory; it pretty much goes with everything, and gets lots of attention when we are out and about.  So my only beef with it is that it makes it much harder to get at those chubby cheeks!
