Just wanted to let everyone know that we are adjusting to the hearing aids pretty well! I am getting faster and placing them and he only pulls them out once a day! I do have to keep and eye on that! They don't seem to bother him much. He does yell while I put them in but that's probably because I'm holding him down!
We put our Christmas tree up on Saturday! I thought Sammie would love staring at all the lights but I think he could care less about it! Oh well! At least he's not pulling the decorations off! That's the cats job!
Sammie's 6 month evaluation for Early Intervention is this Friday. I'm excited to have all his therapists in the room all at once to discuss his successes and new goals. He has been doing sooooo good! Sitting up, balancing himself better, drinking from his cups on his own, bringing both hands to mid line to grab something!!!!! I'm very excited! We are going to increase his speech from 2 days to 4 days a week. We're hoping with the help of the hearing aids this will help him make more sounds! I think I will increase everything but want to see what my schedule will look like. We are always busy with something! :)
Hope you are all enjoying the holiday season! I'm very excited to go to Vermont and spend a whole 5 days with my family!!

what a good boy Sammie is - I can't believe he isn't pulling those out more often! He sounds like he is doing great these days. I bet his speech will really pick up with the aides and the extra therapy sessions.
Your tree is beautiful - it's getting me into the holiday spirit!
Do you notice any difference with Sammie's behaviour since he started wearing the aids? Just curious. Zoe has a mild loss on one side and we are all on the fence about whether to start with an aid or not. We noticed a huge difference with her glasses. She actually sat up and reached acurately for a toy the first time she was wearing them.
How did the eval go? I am glad to hear Sammie is adjusting to his hearing aides. Josh never really cared about Christmas, but he dod get a little more excited this year, so maybe that will give you some hope for future Christmas'. Hsve a great night.
