Alex Is Practicing His Listening Skills

Great listening skills are being developped. You can tell by his behaviours and reactions..good boy!

This video is overdue! It was about a month ago. It is a few examples of some of the sounds our guy is making. Not bad concidering he was almost completely mute at 10 months old. Love him!

One Month Later

I am such a slacker. I have so many videos to post and great things to say about Al's progress but I can't seem to find the time to get online and post when I have other things creeping up my to-do list. Even today, I need to be working on my report cards. Going back to work has been a whirlwind for sure. Every second Alex is awake and I'm not at work I try and spend with him, it turns out to be like 3 hours in the evening and maybe 1 in the morning. It's not enough! I miss him terribly and he misses me to since he is starting cry when we part (either because of daycare or my mom picking him up). But back to his progress....

Al is trying hard to replicate noises, he growls, he moos, he saps when giving kisses, he flicks his tongue and makes galloping noises for his horse he is babbling mamammam and I herd just a few times bababa. He loves music and dances when I turn on the radio, he points to himself when I ask him "Where's Alex", he startles when the dog barks, he hates when the dog growls and comes to bury his head under my neck, he points to the side of his face next to his ears when he hears the train going by near our house and whenever he hears a new noise.

We haven't had any problems with his processor (knock on wood), all his caregivers are super supportive and we even have a resource teacher appointed to him some of the time while he is in daycare. Stay tuned for videos as proof of all of these miracles.
