This is an exciting milestone... Lucas has begun to point to his ear when he hears something new, or when I ask: "do you hear that?" It has taken a little over 3 months, but it's here, and I'm thrilled!

Welcome!
Lucas was born with profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss to two hearing parents. He wore hearing aids starting at 3 months, but he got no benefit from them, as we soon found out. He received a cochlear implant in his right ear 3 days after his first birthday. His second ear was implanted 1 month before his third birthday. Cochlear implants have changed Lucas's life immensely. This site was developed to chronicle his life and progress learning to listen and speak!

YAY! He is so adorable!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
That's so exciting! I'm glad he's met that hearing milestone.
Wow, that's GREAT! One more milestone reached!
I love it when they do that, because you know that they heard a sound and you can expand on what they heard. Nolan did it in California every time he heard a dog barking behind a fence (no fences out here, so he can plainly see the dog). We'd tell him that he was hearing a dog, then we'd peek through the fence to see the doggie.
I love when they point at their ear and have that look like "what's that? I heard something"! Yay Lucas!
Oh Jen that is so awesome - he is doing so beautifully! I'm finally catching up with all your posts. They are all so inspiring!
