For those who are unaware, Anthony had surgery this past September to improve his hearing. Jaime and I were concerned that Anthony was not speaking. He would babble and then get very angry that no one understood him. Anthony's doctor sent us to a specialist who had a complete hearing test done. It turned out that he had fluid in his estuation tubes and needed to get them drained. The doctor also put tubes in his ears to help prevent them from filling again. Anthony didn't hear us before. Imagine being under water and people talking to you. That’s the way Anthony heard every thing for the first 2 1/2 years of his life.
The hope was that after the surgery he would start talking because he could now hear. For the first few months, I was a little worried that there was something else wrong. He really wasn't doing much better. But now almost every day there is a new word or even a sentence. His progress is amazing to me.
His favorite words lately are why and toy car.
And just to prove that yes we still do have the other two kids, here are a few current pictures.
Pam loves gymnastics.
Aaron still likes playing basketball. He is getting pretty good at it too.
