Doc Band

Last Friday Chance got his Doc Band on. I didn't know anything about it before I was told Chance will need one so I figured most people don't either... here is a little information explaing whats going on:

What is Plagiocephaly?
Plagiocephaly is easily explained as an oblique head shape, one side of the head becomes flattened. This occured to Chance because the muscles on one side of his neck were strained, causing him to always lay with one side of his head in the same direction.


How is it treated?
Plagiocephaly is treated with the help of a Doc Band, provided by Cranial Technologies. Chance had to have his head casted, which provided a perfect mold of his head shape. With this mold, he had his own Doc Band created. The band is made out of an outer plastic shell with a foam lining. It weighs about 6 oz. The band applies mild preasure to the prodominant areas, causing the flat areas to reform.Chance wears his "helmet" 23 hours a day. He get's an hour off each night at bath time. At that time, we wash off the band using rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush. He's adjusting to it pretty well, for the most part doesn't seem to notice it.
Eventually I'm going to decorate it! :)

Chance rolling over

Chance rolled over last Tuesday!!! I haven't had much free time this week to post anything so I didn't get to share our big news earlier. (sorry)He isn't the biggest fan of showing off his new skill but we are working on that. The first time he did it I didn't have my camera with me, and he had done it 2 or 3 times. I was very bummed out that I didnt tape it. After that I learned my lesson and have the camera with me at all times! Such a rookie mistake. I haven't got a chance to upload the video yet since it is on my camcorder but it will be on here soon.

Kinley rolling over

Kinley rolled over for the first time today! She is so light she just turned a little and went flying over... I about scared the day lights out of her from all my excitement and cheering.

We have the Silly Giggles

They held hands on their own... I was tearing up

Chance is growing into his very big personality, he is very funny and thinks he is funny so he usually makes himself laugh which makes me laugh and then makes Kinley laugh. They are full of the giggles and we have lots of fun during the day.

Wearing Ralph Lauren like her momma
Going to be a thumb sucker...love the shirt Melissa and Brett!
Such a little man

Little Angles when mommy goes for her runs (most of the time)
She has figured out what the camera does, she will be all smiles and within seconds she sees me pull it out she is all straight face. Such a turkey!


Kinley did this pose a few times, kind of looks like the Donald Trump smile.
Tricked Her!

Getting tired of pictures
and done...
