Well, it's only been about three months since I've updated this. As you can imagine, a lot has happened in three short months. (Three months is a lot in the life of an almost 15 month old.)
We started by having a wonderful Christmas! Santa brought the WoRM a little climb and slide jungle gym. He loves it, but like anything else, lasts about 2 minutes and then is ready for something else. As for opening gifts....not so much. He opened one and I think that was it.
Then, in January, he finally got tubes put in both ears! And, wow...what a difference that has made!! The procedure is literally 6 minutes long, and the differences could honestly be seen that day. The audiologist said Warren had significant hearing loss in his left ear and some in his right ear, so this really was kind of a necessity. But, little did Mommy and Daddy know what we were missing. He's now making all kinds of sounds. He's definitely got "Dada" down (he even knows that "Dada's" truck is black). And we're moving on to "mama" and "ball" and "book". His favorite thing is to run into the kitchen and just yell "Da" and listen for the echo. But, the neatest thing so far was the day we got home from the procedure. I was feeding him lunch, with the radio on, like every other day. But, as soon as it came on, he stopped and just froze. His eyes moved around and then he turned his head...it was like he had never heard it before. And then we went outside and he heard an airplane for the first time. It's truly incredible! We're so blessed!!
Other than that....he loves playing at the park (as you'll see), brushing his teeth, driving daddy's truck, finally sitting forward in his car seat....and he's learned this new little pucker face (not sure where we got that from). We go to the park about two or three times a week. And, he's slowly breaking himself from his pacifier...wow, what a blessing that is! Anyway....I hope that's a decent update for everyone. Til next time!
