BJ is finally talking!! He really should have started talking a while ago, but it can be hard to talk when you can't hear well!! (But that has really changed with his tubes!!) He has now started saying Uh-oh, ball, apple, up, and occasionally mama and dada. The mama really only comes out when I'm on call- then he calls and looks for me. Dada still is very frequent either. But any food is "apple" and "uh-oh" comes out a lot!! He is loving any and all balls lately- and his football sounds like "ba-ba" (ball-ball) We're so excited to finally here him say some words. A few of his docs were concerned he was behind in his development and needed to be evaluated, but Dr. Jill (our family doc) was happy to wait- I'm glad we did. He is such a fun little guy right now- loving to play with us, loving to sit and read books with us (this is relatively new) and has started making towers out of blocks. (But if the blocks tumble when he tries to put one on the tower, the whole thing must come down.) Unfortunately, he has been sick (again) this last week or so. Running a temp anywhere from normal to 102 to once 105+. He's been diagnosed with RSV causing an asthma flare with a likely ear infection and pneumonia complicating the whole picture. We've stayed home with him all week- now Brandon has started feeling badly too, but he's on the mend. We're not sure if he picked this up from Mommy- I had laryngitis prior to his illness, or at Lil Monkey Bizness- an awesome indoor playground he loves to go to. Either way, our pulmonologist is hopeful that when he is five (I wish it was sooner), his airways will be bigger and less prone to illness and inflammation. We're hoping so! Here are some quick pics of our sweet little boy!
