I’m no expert here buuuut I think it’s called positional moulding, as babies skulls aren’t one whole piece until about 2 years of age, so they can develop flat spots from lying in the same position for a while, and I think NICU babies are laid on their sides so this could be why the sides of their heads look flatter making a ‘square’ look, it should resolve as they grow and develop as once they are sitting etc they won’t have so much pressure on one area if that all makes sense..
I was a NICU baby, I spent two months there. I have a weird shaped head. Apparently you can get a helmet or something to correct it, but even post NICU I had a lot of issues so the aesthetic of my head shape wasn't a priority since they had to make sure I stayed alive.

Anyone listen to this week's podcast episode?

The more and more Erik talks, the less I like him.
Hard agree. He is a small man with a superiority complex. Colleen is so messy and gross with her bathroom humor that she makes him feel like he is above her. He likes to think of himself as a cultured intellectual but somehow cannot think of anything more interesting to talk about besides toenails, trash bags, and lines at the grocery store (these are actual topics he chose to talk about in the podcast). A great part in the podcast (not the most recent one, but one of the episodes where they were on their bed) was when Colleen called him out for not having read any of the books in their bookshelf and for just having them because they look cool. He looked and sounded so guilty. That is Erik in a nutshell, trying to seem smarter, cooler, and more educated and unique than he really is.

Yeah, he's a lot more uneducated than he admits to be. Also, anyone else thinks his "alcoholic beverages he sometimes likes to enjoy" have become more of a problem than they admit? He's looking REALLY puffy since a couple of months and when you compare it to what he used to look like a year ago when he was kind of cute in a weird way, it's really shocking and definitely not "aging", the man's not even 40.

I keep having flashbacks to how Josh looked like in the final months of their marriage

This week Erik was talking abut a package he sent to the wrong address. He was too immature to contact the person who may live at the address to explain so he could pick it up or pay for it to be sent to him. He for some reason pressumed his package would be opened because HE would open a package addressed to someone else, and he would even throw someone else's package in the trash. What a little tit.

The drinking clearly is a problem. The podcast is basically his only job at the moment and he's always turning up drunk. Don't do it if you don't like it Erik, needing a drink to be able to talk isn't good. He says things that are so cringe and I can understand now why he wanted nothing to do with social media originally because I can totally see him worrying and having anxiety over the dumb stuff her blurts out without thinking.

He doesn't seem to be taking care of himself. He spoke recently about his weight gain, well cut out the booze Erik. I don't know how the acting world works but if he was supposed to be reprising his role in that show he was in shouldn't he be watching his physical appearance.

You think he's drunk in every podcast?? I mean now you mention it, why should he flip from being shy and anxious on social media to literally talking about his mole, publicly, to millions of people. I find it so odd that Colleen puts him through that (and that he puts up with it!), I break out in sweats when I post a picture in the evening and the wake up in the middle of the night regretting it (I'm not on social media anymore lol) and I cannot imagine what he's having to suppress with all that drinking. It's quite tragic.
And you're right, as an actor he should watch his physical appearance. He basically looks unrecognisable to say, 2 years ago.

I also get the impression that Colleen has less patience with him when he's drinking. Is that (one of the reasons) why she cheated on her ex, because she lost tolerance for his drinking too?

It can also happen in the womb and is really common in multiples and preemies. If left untreated it could be fine, but also could cause neurological and developmental delays. Hopefully their doctor is monitoring it, and if they end up needing shaping helmets, hopefully she's receptive to that and doesn't let her vanity get in the way of treatment.

On today’s Episode of ‘Flynn is an Unchecked cat
Colleen is holding her ukulele to play a song to Maisy and Flynn literally yanks it out of her hands insisting he will sing to her

Why does no one ever tell him that you cannot behave like this???

Hopefully he grows out of it, I remember Duncan was the same a couple of years ago when they would open their advent calendars - he would snatch the other kids (and even the parents) gifts!

I don’t understand

Erik bought a Blippi costume to DETER Flynn from wanting to watch Blippi? Surely dressing up and engaging with your child in that way would only encourage interest?? I don’t buy the excuse
Feels like he was trying to do something wacky for the vlogs for a little attention

Flynn can only enjoy YouTube creators who are family, and so since Erik isn't Blippi, he needs to become Blippi.

I'd choose Blippi over Miranda any day for appropriate and entertaining content for children
