Does this helmet make my cheeks look big?

No, Caleb has not joined the baby football league.  Nor is he practicing to be the next Evel Knievel-type motorcycle dare devil.  He's not even wearing this helmet to protect his head in the event that his newbie parents accidentally drop him. 
No, Caleb is sporting this new accessory for purely cosmetic reasons.  He had developed a bit of a flat spot on the back of his head because of his tendency to turn his head to the right (and I'm sure as a result of spending too much time on his back due to his distaste for tummy time).  They tell me that this helmet should even it out over the next few months.  So he'll be wearing it for 23 hours a day for the next three months. 

While we were in shock over the price tag for this piece of Styrofoam-type material (I'm pretty sure that a helmet for an NFL player is significantly cheaper than this thing), we ultimately decided to go ahead with it.  We didn't want him to be mad at us when he's 13 and has a misshapen head.  Plus, it may come in handy to protect his sweet little noggin from all the bumps that have started happening since he's moving around more nowadays. 
And it sure does accentuate those chubby cheeks!
