One more month

Cash had his 3 month scan today.  We were running late today, so we didn't get to see Mr. Dwain. Instead we saw Ms. Libby. Cash loved her and her name tag. ;0)

We had to take an appointment selfie. 


Cash played while we waited for Ms. Libby. He sits up so well now. He has also mastered how to go from sitting to crawling (still army crawl) and from his belly to sitting. Such a big boy. 

The red is his intinal scan and the blue is the scan from today. His little head is rounding out nicely. 

He started at 9.9 mm asymmetry.  At his 2 month scan he was 4.3 mm asymmetry and today he is at 3.5 mm asymmetry. Our goal is to get as close as we can to 0. 

I love seeing his progress over the last 3 months. 

The image on the left is from his initial scan and the image on the right is from today.  The flatness across the back is getting better!  He has gone from 103% to 96.6% to now 95.5%.  (The % is the ratio between the length (front to back) of his head to the width (ear to ear).)  Our goal here is to get as close to 90% as possible. 


Ms. Libby recommended that we continue treatment for another month. I want to get the best results possible.  We got back May 23. He will turn 9 months on the 23, be in his helmet 4 months on the 23 and hopefully graduate.  


I have found lots of helmet mommas on Instagram and one of the ladies just wrote a book inspired by her sons adventure with his helmet.  Today it is available on Amazon.com. 

I just ordered it and I can't wait for it to arrive next week!!!! I am so happy to have  special books to read to Cash. :0) 



This boy loves his helmet! 

Cash loves to FaceTime with his daddy.

Busy, busy.

Cash found his helmet. At first I was worried that it was bothering him. He was touching and pulling at it a lot. But every time I took it off to check, there were no red marks.  Not much else has been going on with the helmet.  We go back in 2 weeks for a scan & hopefully graduation.  I am done.  Senioritis. It's so close I can taste it. I know it is selfish, but I can't wait to not have to have a bath every night.  I am so ready to not have to smell alcohol.  I am ready to cuddle and kiss and love my babies round, beautiful head.  His hair is growing in and I love to kiss and smell and rub my cheek on it. 

Cash has been very busy the last few weeks. 

He finally got to meet his Aunt Casey!! 
It was love!!! ❤️❤️❤️

And his cousin Sebastian. 


He had his first dentist appointment. 
*it looks like he wasn't happy having his teeth cleaned...he was. It's just the picture.  I had just laid him back and tried to take a picture real fast and that's what I got.*

He went to his first ball game. 
He loved watching the batters.  

He went to his first birthday party. 
Our very good friends turned 4!!  Cash loved loved loved the balloons. He has an obsession with strings (hoodies) and was in heaven with all the balloon strings. 
 
He has started pulling up on things. 

Busy busy. 

And here are a few of my favorites from the past few weeks.
