Language Progress

Well folks, it's officially been one year since Lilly's 1st cochlear implant was activated. She is now 2 years old with bilateral processors and doing amazingly well! In fact her language assessments indicate she has the language of a typical 2 year old...and then some! Thanks to everyone for your continued prayers and support! There are so many people responsible for this rapid progress and you all know who you are! Love to everyone!

Lilly's Language Explosion

Little Lilly sure does love her books. She studies and learns new words quickly. She was given a receptive language (words you understand) analysis test last month. At 21 months, after hearing for only 9 months, Lilly's receptive language measured as that of a typical 22 month old.

In 9 months Lilly closed the gap in her receptive language!
Incredible!
Stay tuned for updates on the expressive language (words you can say), results in November!

News Break!!!!

Lilly is taking more chances with her standing & walking!
We are super excited!

"Mo, doo, fee!"

Now only 9 months after receiving her 1st cochlear implant, (only 4 months w/2) Little Lilly is counting! 1-2-3!!!

Lilly & Scarlet

It's a good thing Lilly has Scarlet...or is it Scarlet has Lilly?!? These two are cracking me up entertaining each other around the house. Scarlet will be 13 this November - she's a trooper!

Bedtime reading

It's been a while since the last video, I know, I know. Less than 3 months since her 2nd cochlear implant activation, Lilly's progress is nothing short of amazing! She has mastered her power word lists and learned so many animal names and sounds, fruits, transportation, bathing and playing language, simple requests and commands, please and thank you,- whew! It's astounding how quickly her language and speech is developing!


This is all thanks to Nana who works diligently with Lilly in all her areas of development but especially in speech-language & gross motor. I am enjoying the summer weeks getting to spend this amazing time with her. I must admit, bedtime is still my favorite time. We have a bedtime routine that always includes reading books and having great conversations about what we see...enjoy!
