New Words

We've been a little slow starting to talk, but now that Atticus can hear properly, the babbling and the words will start flowing. Greg took Atti in for his 1 week ear recheck on Monday afternoon. His hearing is back in the normal range (had been at about 50%) and the tubes look great! Yippee!!

Atticus has discovered he can call Greg and I both Mama & Dada -- or Mommy and Daddy. It's cute. When he says Mommy or Daddy he gets all excited. He's been saying these over and over lately. The other new favorite word is banana "nana". He'll go running to the kitchen and point to the counter shouting "NANA".

There are lots of other repetitive sounds that I'm trying to discern. He's also making up some signs for words that he can't say just yet. He has one for "music" when he wants the cd player turned on that's pretty cute. He runs over to the player, and turns a fist upside down and taps the table. Not sure where he came up with it, but he does it every time he wants the music on...
