First off, to update everyone, Kaylee IS going to be getting a DOC Band. I am doing fine with it and her Daddy is the strongest man I know. The people at Cranial Tech are wonderful. They took us through a variety of different scenarios that included the life with the band and also life without. My favorite part of the appointment came afterwards when we received copies of her "mug shots." Seriously, that's what they are. I feel like all we need to do is photoshop in a little black box with a random number on it and we've got America's first baby criminal. :-) We went in on Friday for her DSI (digital surface imaging) appointment. Kaylee say like a little angel while 25 different cameras take pictures of her head. Did I mention that in order to get accurate images, she wore a sock-like head piece that made her look like a bank robber? Perhaps the crime occurs after the mug shots for babies. Hee hee. Bad Mommy moment-I forgot the camera! Ugh. I would have loved to post the picture of her as the masked bandit. I was amazed at how calm she remained while the stocking mask was on her face. Not a whimper out of this girl! On November 5th we go back in to have the band placed and fit onto Kaylee's head. Then it's just a waiting game! 8-10 weeks is what they say for Kaylee in the helmet. Not bad in the grand scheme of things. We are praying that her head grows quickly so that she does not have to wear it longer than that. Selfishly, I would like it to be 6-8 weeks, but I know that even 10-12 weeks will feel like a blink of an eye later on. I think that's about it...so enjoy a quick giggle...because I sure did. Here are her mug shots. When you look at them, I think that the top right picture best shows her "a-symmetry" in her ears. See how the left side is so much lower than the right? Poor little baby...her expression in this picture gets me every time! :-)
WANTED: Kaylee Marie Grewe
If you have seen this baby, please call for reward.

Where can I take my kids to do this?!? It is sooo cute! Although, the reasons for having to get the 'mug shots' done are no fun, what a blessing to have the technology that our wonderful country has to be able to help little Kaylee.
And you are right JW, it will be a blink of an eye...they grow sooo fast. Enjoy it. I have seen some pics on the internet with babies having their helmets all decorated, especially during football season. It will be done before you know it.
Loved seeing you and your husband last night. It is cute to see Daddy's eyes gleam when they talk about their babies.
These are the cutest picture JM.
I know it's hard when someone points out something different about our kids but Kaylee is beautiful and this will be such a short part of her life and she's isn't even going to remember. You and Nick are doing such a wonderful job. Great seeing you last night too. You look great, Motherhood agrees with you :D
okay....I love the top left picture. it is so stinkin funny. totally a mugshot. i love this kid.
hilarious! and, as kids needing helmets go, this is definitely a very minor case.
ok, so since we've clarified that you don't have one of those "special" looking kids, and we all know Kaylee's an absolute doll, I don't have much sympathy to send your way. :)
This too shall pass, and quickly enough, so take lots of hilarious pictures along the way and rejoice that she's getting this taken care of now rather than when she's a toddler and big enough to fight you on it.
Say hi to daddy-o.... xoxo
