Arlo is mad for animal noises. So far he makes consistent sounds for lion, elephant, monkey, fish, rabbit, frog, duck, chook, snake, tiger, dog, cat, cow, parrot, small bird, and probably more that I can’t remember right now. But I’ve never been able to tell him what giraffes say. My friend’s husband solved the problem, and Arlo has taken on this new animal noise with enthusiasm:
PS We’ve seen a big difference in his language since his ears were drained and adenoids out. There are words! And so many more consonants! He said ‘mama’ the other day and it was sweet to hear - there had been no m or n for months. We are still Baba though - I think that has stuck.
That’s SOOOO cute!

Oh, that’s wonderful. I’m so glad that the surgery was worth it, and he is benefiting from it. “Hello down there” is soooo cute.
