Boy, it has been a long time since I have blogged and so much has happened.
I will try to catch everyone up to speed.
My computer crashed just after my last post so I was without it for a week.
That is a hard thing! How did we ever get along without our computers?
I use it for so many purposes!
Andrew had his Early Intervention appointments last week.
The speech and developmental therapists were both so impressed with how well he is doing.
They said considering he has only been home for one month he is really showing great adjustment and understanding.
We have been teaching him sign language since we came home and
he has completely picked up on it!
They thought that was so awesome, because that would have been a recommendation for him since he is not speaking.
He is communicating by signing and understands when we give a sign along with the word.
He has several signs...eat, more, please, thank you, bath, play, school, night-night, out, in, up, help, car, drink, stop, yes, no, and finished.
He is starting to make some sounds though.
Yay!!
Some sounds he is making are dada, ga, sk, ma.
There recommendation was not to start services yet and see how he is doing in 3 months.
They really thought that would give him some more time to understand and also they think he will have some words by then.
The nutritionist assessed him too last week.
She gave us some helpful tips and thought he was doing super as well!
We just have to work on getting some meat on this guy's bones!
Oh, one last thing, he had an appointment with the ophthalmologist and got a great report from him as well!!
No need to go back for a couple of years.
I tell ya,
"He is AMAZING!"
At least we all think so!
We have been playing outside A LOT!
He wakes up in the morning...still in his pajamas,
and goes to the door with his shoes in hand ready to go outside!
If that doesn't work he goes to my closet, gets my shoes and brings them to me.
