Cohen's sportin' a helmet!

Anyone who has met Cohen in person has probably noticed that the back of his head was flat from laying on his back all of the time at the orphanage. It would have possibly filled out a little on it's own, but we decided to go ahead and get him a reshaping helmet to get the maximum progress possible. The poor little guy has to wear it 23 hours a day for the next 3-4 months! :o( He hasn't seemed to mind at all since day one. The doctor said that he was such a good sport through the whole fitting and everything that he made his "top 10 patients" list! Cohen is such an easy going kid. He is crawling all over now and pulling himself up to standing. I went in to get him the other morning and he was standing in his crib. He also likes to practice standing and letting go of my fingers and after a few seconds of success he gets a little too excited and tries clapping and yelling "yeah" and looses his balance- but he just laughs and stands back up to o it again. Hopefully he'll be walking soon to free up one of my arms so I can get things done a little more efficiently. (we'll see if it's a help or a hinder)
