We took Nathan to see the cleft specialists for his first visit. We were surprised to hear that they can complete his surgery as soon as they can get it scheduled. They want to check his hearing to see if they want to put in tubes. I think there is nothing wrong with his hearing but often cleft affected children have problems until they are older. We have the hearing test on the 20th.
Nathan has learned how to feed himself! It is wonderful since it allows Mommy and Daddy to eat now while he happily chows down himself. We still help him with the stuff that requires a spoon.
Our dogs and cats wait under his high chair for tidbits to fall. When we get him out of the chair he usually has a cup of food on his clothes so we shake him off and the cleanup crew takes care of everything.
I think we are finally starting to get over the sickness that has been plaguing us. We are starting to feel a little better every day. Apparently a lot of people in the city have the same thing so I don't know what that is about.
Nathan is walking everywhere now! He runs for his goal like he has to get there before he falls down which still happens often. When spring comes he should be ready to run around outside.
He is becoming increasing noisier too so we are waiting to see if some words will be here soon. He will say "Mama" for me once in a while when I ask him to. Most of the time he makes a loud "CAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW!!!!" noise and he sounds like a crow. There is a huge difference in the house when he is waking vs sleeping.
