The Helmet Decision

A lot of discussion, some compromise and a few unnecessary sticker purchases later, here is the helmet!

We got it airbrushed at the mall. Brian really wanted a sports helmet (Chargers or Padres, of course) and the only thing I liked enough was the retro padres colors so here you have it. Unfortunately it has already chipped badly after one night. Luckily we have a "lifetime guarantee" at the airbrush place. We are hoping a fix it trip and a couple of clear coats should be enough.

Do you see his cute crooked teeth coming in???

*At what point do crooked teeth not become cute anymore?

A helmet disguised as a helmet...Genius!!! I've only seen stickers on them. Did you guys come up with the airbrushing idea? Either way - very cute!

I noticed a couple babies on their tummies in some of the pictures from families that just returned. Maybe you raised an awareness for tummy time there.

when you're paying thousands of dollars for orthodontics.

Love the air brushing.

Both of my children's teeth came in crooked and for the most part they became straight once they were through all of the way and other teeth came up along side them. My oldest has braces but it's for other reasons and not trulely crooked teeth.

LOVE the helmet! I've seen a few babies with decorated helmets but none that have actually been done with a "helmet" theme. Very cute idea and turned out great! Your boy is just precious!

Crooked teeth aren't cute when affect the ability to eat, otherwise it doesn't really matter. To me anyway. Xavi still has his crooked front baby teeth and he's 2, I think they just do that, I dunno...

I like the helmet, he looks too cute in it too! :)

Autumn, I love the helmet...what an awesome idea. Joshua's bottom teeth came in crooked too, now they are beautifully straight, so don't sweat it.
