Well just in case anyone was wondering about when Wesley gets his helmet off we've on an answer for you, November 2nd. This is a year from when he first got it. When we would go to the doctor who makes the helmets he would say not till January and we were a little confused since they said a year from surgery, but the surgeon looked at it a week ago and said his head is perfect, just a couple more weeks. Yaya! Things have 
worked out so well and although it says craniosynostosis sucks on his helmet, we should mention that it actually has its advantages like avoiding head injuries. Now im sure i will be paranoid when it comes off and be more careful and also I will have to make sure that his hair cuts are a little better since i cant hide them anymore. I added some photos of before and after. Its hard to tell the difference with all his hair but his head is not as long and his forehead doesnt stick out. The surgery made him a soft spot that allowed room for his brain to grow which has now closed at the same time a regular soft spot closes. We are lucky to have such good medical care these days, just 5 years ago it would have been a lot worse for Wesley. Also Wesley visited his cousins at Thanksgiving point, he had a great time with them with all the rides and games, its a great fun place to go and probably better when its not so crowded. I will post some pics later when i get them from my sis that so kindly took them for me!

Josalyn you are the coolest Mom! I love his hair.
So cool that you guys were able to take his diagnosis and make the best of it, at least that's how you make it seem. That little boy has a lot of great adventures ahead of him.
