My daughter is not an ambi-turner

Yes, just like Derek Zoolander, Molly has a strong preference for her right side. Unfortunately, this means Molly is getting a flat head. Noooooooooooo! It's true. I went to her 2-month appointment all worried about the shots and those turned out to be no big thing. But this whole flat head diagnosis has really thrown me for a loop. I thought my daughter was perfect!

We had to schedule an appointment with a physical therapist (1st opening Oct 21...are you kidding me?) and until then, have to try to keep her off her back or else keep her head turned left whenever possible. If the problem persists at 4 months, this could be Molly:

I do not expect Molly to be as happy about her helmet as the child in this photo... we tried to put a knit hat on her yesterday and she flipped!

Of course I feel like this is all my fault. They told me in the hospital to watch the whole head preference thing and I haven't really forced it...until now. I will be vigilant about tummy time (even though she hates it) from now on! Poor Molly -- she's about to see her mother turn into a drill sergeant.

Other than that, the 2-month appointment went well. Molly is 23 inches long and almost 12 lbs -- that's a little over the 50th percentile for both height and weight. And despite its flatness, Molly's pea head has moved up to the 50th percentile as well. We'll do our best to get it rounded out. Updates to come!
