Since news emerged of baby Jaxon Buell’s amazing story of survival spread around the world, his followers have been eager to catch up on his progress.
Taking to his ‘Jaxon Strong’ Facebook page, his doting parents shared a candid clip of him speaking after he managed to utter his first words.
Proud parents Brittany and Brandon Buell wrote alongside the clip: "You can't see our shocked and happy expressions behind the camera, but we are super proud parents to be able to witness Jaxon speaking yet again.”
Jaxon suffers from a very rare condition called microhydranencephaly, which means that he was born with just half a skull.
Jaxon says "Hello" to Germany to the kids that drew him pictures!!!! You can't see our shocked and happy expressions... > >

Doctors predicted that his life span would be cut considerably shorter, but young Jaxon defied medical prediciont and recently celebrated his first birthday.
His parents marked the occasion by writing on Facebook: "We hope that it's clear for everyone to see that Jaxon is happy and thriving, and that we should be celebrating his life.
"That's our focus, along with his story and inspiration benefiting other families and the medical community."
Katie Hopkins cruelly targeted brave Jaxon last week after writing on Twittter: "Plain wrong. If your baby has half a head, you don't have it.”
She added: “Cruel and inhumane.”
Understandably, followers were outraged by her comments and leapt to the youngsters defence.
