Well sweet girl, you are barreling into toddler-hood at full speed! 160;Every day we are seeing less of the baby you were and more of the little girl you are becoming. And what fun it is! 160;But you love your. Well, I can't lie.one of my favorite parts of your new toddler ways is your sleep habits. Child, you are *finally* sleeping like a true champ! 160;What if you started waking up hungry? 160;And ever since then you've been sleeping until 7-7:30 in the morning pretty consistently. So nice!

We are too lazy or busy (you choose) to keep up two blogs. If you want to see how Cal is doing visit steveandbrynn.blogspot. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Calan "Cal" was born in August of 2008. He is a happy little guy that rarely misses a meal. When he smiles (which is often) it covers his whole face. He loves his big sister and will only cuddle with his mom. Cal is perfect in every way. Cal also happens to be profoundly deaf.and these are his adventures. Met along the way. Gavin Hears a Who!

Meet Cal...: March 2010

I guess this blog is due for an update. Cal is about 18 months now and he is still our chubby happy lil’ dude. He has finally figured out the walking thing and wobbles around the house like he owns the place. His religion is still the same: he worships food and his big sister. Cal is doing incredibly well in both speech and sign. He probably has about 8-10 words:. Animal Sounds (rooster, cow, dog, horse, duck). Is still ah-ah, but we are working with him. Would you recommend it? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Cal’s still a ridiculously tempting piece of chunky. Every time we leave the house people can’t help but kiss his fat cheeks. Here are a few pics we had done recently:. Cal's first words (signed of course). He said his first words! Just like a hearing kid who says "Mama" for the first time, a deaf child will sign it. I know, I know, lots of kids sign at nine months, but for some reason it is really exciting to see your child sign when it is his only. Londyn did the same thing. What is that all about?

Meet Cal...: Dad's Sentimental Rant
http://meetcal.blogspot.com/2009/07/dads-sentimental-rant.html
I’m not saying that there are not trials and heartbreaks. I’m not saying it’s easy or painless. I’m just saying there are good parts too. And the older they get, happiness and acceptance start to take over all of the worry and sadness. Like I said, it gets better.much better. That is such a wonderful way to think about it! That is exactly how I feel about my daughters hearing loss. And all parents go through hard times. Its the hardest job in the world, but so rewarding. July 24, 2009 at 12:08 PM. Cal is...

Dealing with a Child's Hearing Loss. I was reading an article in the AG Bell's winter newsletter, and I wanted to share the closing paragraph with you. I think this is such great advice for any parent who learns that their child is deaf. I am just going to quote it. The author of the article is Heather Frost. I know hearing loss is tough, especially as a parent of a toddler who is deaf. Try not to grieve too long about what has happened. You as a parent could not have prevented it from happening.
