Halloween and a TALKER

So I'll start off with talking since that started first. As most of you know Matt has been behind in his speech. He is about a year behind due to his lack of hearing for the first year. Up until his surgery he had only two words in his vocabulary. Because of this he sees a speech therapist to keep up with his speech just in case it wasnt his hearing so much and other factors. Hes made steady strides since his surgery in Jan and his speech has really taken off. Well this past week its taken off even more. He is trying to put many words together. He will actually start a word, may not finish the word but he does start it and has all the syllabols needed for that word. Its incredible!!! He tries to copy all the words you say and will answer you with multiple words. AMAZING!! Ryan could tell a difference in just the last week when he came home from work Matt was just full of words and jabbering away. I'm praying that things will keep going as smooth as they have been and that his speech should only improve.

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. Matt wasnt sick so we could actually go out and about more than to just a few places. He totally go into the spirit of it and was hamming it up. Thankfully we went to just the people we knew because he just made himself right at home at every house we went to and just walked right in. It was pretty cute and he fit the chicken just perfect. It was cute. We had a lot of fun and it will be interesting to see what a whole new year brings and how different he will be next year.
