An Orange on a Toothpick

Well, these guys aren't the only ones around here wearing helmets.
Yup, Baden got a helmet. His head shape is pretty lopsided, so we took action. It's been a little hard to adjust to, but he's now wearing it 23/7. It's not really fun for either one of us, but hopefully later in life he won't be known as the kid with the weird-shaped head.
His little tufts of hair make their way out the whole on top. It's kind of funny. I got to pick the outside design and I thought this one was the coolest by far. No teddy bears for us!
Just look at that gummy little smile! He is such a trooper. Still no sign of any teeth, but he now says, "Mama!" He started saying it when we were in Wisconsin. It's funny...he only says it when he's upset - just like his brother always did.

He looks very cool in his helmet. He can totally pull off that look. Way to go Bade!

Uncle Charlie thinks he's a future snowboarder. :)

He looks pretty happy here. If only you can entertain him all day so he won't remember it is on his head. Tell his daddy to wear his for awhile at night and they will look the same. Good luck and love to you both.

He looks so cute! The helmet choice is very cool. He looks like an extreme sport guy for sure. =)

My friends little girl had a baby helmet. She ordered vinyl stickers you put on your wall and decorated the helmet. Little skater silloettes, his name, you can make it super cute!

Cuteness! I think you chose a great pattern and color too. I hope Baden is adjusting. He is so adorable!
