"Up, Mama"

I had the most amazing moment today.  I was trying to get Henry to go down for his morning sleep, but he kept crying and crying in his cot.  I walked into the room and he looked up at me and said “Up, Mama”.  So, so beautiful!!!!!!!!  It’s the first time he has put two words together.  In fact, he has only been saying “up” (when he wants to be picked up) and “mama” (sounds more like ‘baba’) for the past week and now he put them together!  I am so overwhelmed.  My little boy who has been hearing for just over four months, is talking!  We are hearing henry!!! 

(Ironically Henry could not hear himself at the time as he doesn’t have his CIs on when he goes down for his sleep).

Will is in Dubai at the moment, so I just told him on the phone.  His message back sums up beautifully how I feel, so I will quote him here:

I can’t explain how happy and excited and amazed and thankful and tearful I feel about what henry was saying.  I’m lost for words...........................awesome!
