Photo Shoot...Cranial Technologies Style

Recently, at a DOC band check-up, we had the opportunity for a fun photo shoot.  This shows you a little about Nora's head check-ups.  Oh, and she didn't mind any of it!

Aaron is holding her head mold.  It's what her head started as.  They use it to compare visually with us at each appointment.  We're hoping we get to keep it.  =)  Normally, she doesn't have the hose over her whole head...we were just playing with her & she didn't care!

This is more like where the hose goes during the check-up.  Its a little low and sloppy here---she looks a little thug-ish.

To keep her attention, her therapist lets her play with the tape measure.

The hose is quite stretchy!  Look at that hair!!

Here's happy Nora.  Pretending to measure her head.

While she waits for adjustments to be made to her DOC band (shaving out the foam for more room to grow) she gets to play with all their great toys!

We're really going to miss going to see her therapist, Kathy, each week!  She's so sweet and really likes Nora.  Nora even convinces her to buy toys for her own kids.  (Like this pop up purple toy she has above...Nora always loves it so Kathy decided her son needed one.)  At our last check-up (last Wednesday) they scheduled her exit appointment.  Next time we go (in a little less than 2 weeks) should be her last time and graduation day!!  We're scared for her to go without her head protection, but it'll be so nice to not get head-butted with hard plastic anymore!  We can't wait!

Nora Days...

Here are some random pictures.  

These are my days.  Nora days.  

Wouldn't change it for the world.=)

 She's getting so good at crawling--she's unstoppable!  Although, she enjoys pulling herself up and standing there more.  She even walks along the couch now!!  Yikes!

She is always happy!  =)  (Doesn't that band make her cheeks like even fluffier?!?) 

 She loves to play instead of sleep...until she wears herself out.  Usually it's banging on the baby monitor repeatedly...

She's so sweet.  I could eat her up! 

She's very curious.  Even likes her new kicks! 

Nora LOVES playing with Daddy.  Even if he puts the laundry basket over her head.

Silly girl got twisted up in her hooded towel!

         She still likes wigs!  Good thing we got her some new ones from the Halloween clearance!!

Isn't she the BEST?!?  WE LOVE HER!!  <3
