Davis has a condition called Torticollis where one of his neck muscles was shorter on one side. Thus, his range of motion was limited. With a limited range of motion he naturally always looked to the left and slept on the left side of his head.
Luckily my mom noticed this when he was about 2 weeks old. Since then we've been working with our pediatrician and doing special stretches to lengthen the other muscle. Unfortunately the problem wasn't corrected before it caused Plagiocephaly (essentially a wonky shaped head). Turns out if you always lay down on the same spot of your head and grow at an insanely rapid pace you're head won't grow quite as round as it should. :)
Anyway, long story short, Davis will be getting a helmet to correct his head shape and we'll be back to normal in no time. This is a picture of him at the Dr. getting his head scan to be fitted for his helmet.
