The inspiration for this post:
An Ewok{if you haven't seen these movies, you're really missing out!}
Today was the big day: Gabriel got his head cast for his helmet.
I asked the prosthetic guy {I really don't know what they are technically called, sorry} before we started how most babies react to plaster being put on their heads. He said 75% of babies wiggle, scream, cry, and really hate it being on their head. The other 25% are rather good; only minimal crying and stay still, for the most part. Well ... let's see what percentage my little Ewok fell under ....
Stripped down to his diaper and ready for the get-up [happy right now]
Hmmm .... starting to look Star Wars-ish {Obi-Wan as a baby}
Then the head covering; it's starting to get good
My Little Ewok!
Starting to put the plaster on ...still looking like an Ewok
Relatively calm ... getting a little fussy
Ahhh!! This Ewok was MAD! Butttt ... you might be surprised. The pro guy said he actually fit under the 25% because the above pic was taken after 20 minutes of having all this stuff on his head. This was right at the end of the process. Gabe has a bad case of Emotional/Mood Confusion -- a condition I just made up. He would be whimpering a little bit, but then if we would smile at him, he would start smiling again. He cried about 30 seconds total. Good boy!
This is him getting cleaned up afterwards.He stayed still the whole time. He was a very brave little boy, since having something like that on your head can be really weird for a baby. We will be getting a call within a week in a half to get his first fitting in his helmet. Yay!
Thanks for joining this little Ewok on his adventures!

Cute Cute! You told me about this but it's so much funner to see in pictures. You are so quick at posting- something you will find out, I am not good at. Thanks for sharing.
And...you didn't tell me your Spanish was that good? I could have been talking to you in Spanish all this time but you made me think you only knew a little. Next time I see you it'll be Spanish only!
Hahaha! I wish I was good at Spanish! Alejandro translated my post into Spanish. I only know what it says because I wrote the English version! :) I am quick at posting because #1, my family and Ale's family never gets to see Gabe adn #2, It's like a journal to me. I loved your little blog too!
