No more helmet hair...

As of Friday all of Eliza's head measurements are within normal limits and she is done with her helmet! After 78 days of wearing it her head looks amazing. Check out the before and after pictures:

 From the profile pictures you can really see how the flattening on the back of her head was affecting her whole skull. See how far her ear is shifted forward in the before picture?

The adjustment to not wearing the helmet has almost been harder than the adjustment to wearing it. Since Eliza went from barely crawling when she got her helmet to now crawling, standing, and scooting along things she had become rather reckless. Why be careful when bonking your head doesn't hurt? So, she is slowly learning that she does actually need to watch her head haha.
