Bryce is ready to play football!

Bryce got his head shaping band on November 3rd. The first night was very rough and he was really upset but it hasn't seemed to bother him a bit since then. He's making good progress and should be out of it in the next month or so. Several people have asked me why he needed the band. It's something called plagiocephaly...basically his head was a different shape (mostly from being premature and laying flat so much longer than full term babies). One side of his head was pushed forward from always laying on the same side. It would have caused jaw problems (and other problems that I can't remember) as he got older. He goes once a week to have it checked and adjusted. We think he looks so cute with it...like a little football player!!
I thought Bryce's eyes in this picture were so funny!
