steven learned how to use silverware in the past couple weeks now he wont eat unless he has a spoon or fork. even if its a cookie he will use silverware.

Stevens favorite thing to do lately is play just dance, which is awesome for me cause thing i get a workout too! He is so funny when he plays it!

This is what Stevens implant looks like, alot of people ask us how it works. So the around part on the top, is a magnet the connect to the magnet in the inside as well as the internal piece on his skull.So Steven will NEVER be able to have an M.R.I on any part of his body, but if we walks by the fridge we will not get stuck too it haha that is a very common question we get. Anyway the part on the top is what makes the hwile thing work if the magnets get detached from each other all sound is gone we always are having to put it back on and watching it to make sure it is on. the part that wraps around his ear had to speakers on it that he hears out of! He does not hear out of his ear he ears out of the speakers. there is a little light right next to the speakers if its blinking green there is sound coming out of it if it is blinking orange something is wrong, it might be the batteries or something else but most likely the batteries, but we can hook it up to his remote ho find out what the problem is.It looks like an ipod. He has two differnt implants both for the same hear just different colors. you get two of them because is something happens too one and you have to send it too get fixed you will have you back up so he is never not hearing. We switch back and forth between them everyday. if there is anytjing else you guys want to know just ask :)

Wow! It has been forever since we have been on here! Life has been crazy! but steven got his first implant and is doing great! he has been hearing for 4 months now! He can say mom and da and hi but he understand alot of what you are saying when you talk to him, even if he cant say it himself yet.Steven has a early intervention person come each tuesday to work with him to help him get sounds down and helps him talk. She does great with him we love having her come! Steven goal is too have fifty words down by the time he turns two, which will be in august. It will be a lot of hard work for him but we know he can do it! We are still saving and rasing money for him to get a second implant on his left side but it might take us awhile to get there, but he will do just fine with the one. With on;y being able to hear for four months steven is doing great all his doctors are very impressed with him.. they say it because us as parents are working so hard with him, but i think Steven, is just a very smart boy.Who deserves all the credit! We are going to start posting alot more so friends and family that dont live close by will know all about how our little man is, and how are family is!
