Amazing.

In the one week since Kai had his surgery, he has come so far.

He has been saying "Mama", "Dada" (awww, its great to hear that finally!), "NighNigh" (when he wants his blankie, or is saying good night), and he says "Daaaa" when he sees Maddie, and truck... no words for Rylee yet...

Its crazy how far he has come... and such a blessing.    His balance seems much better since the surgery too... he doesn't seem to fall hardly at all anymore, and has mastered jumping.  He has not had any runny noses, or any sickness for that matter - however, he has the most horrible breath ever (from the adenoids being taken out).

He didn't have his therapy this week due to spring break... and he is off next week too... I honestly don't know if the therapy will continue for a full year... His goal is 10 words... and he has 5 down already!  (in just one week!)

Anyway, we are praising God for this progress - its amazing to see!
