Abigail is 2 years old!

It's been a long time since I posted a blog, so here's an update. Abigail turned 2 on April 14th & we celebrated her birthday with a Dora themed party. She is very close to walking. She is taking 5-6 steps at a time & seems to now prefer walking & cruising over crawling. Abigail has had her loaner hearing aids since Feb. & in August we got her permanent hearing aids, & so far she is doing well with them. I have noticed a difference in her speech & how she responds to us since she got them. It seems as if she is trying to say new words everyday. She still does private physical therapy once a week & we hope to start her in private speech therapy soon. Abigail starts her 2nd year @ Franklin County Board of Developmental Delays(fcbdd)on Sept. 13th. Her teachers will be Miss Debby & Miss Amy & she will attend school Mon, Wed, & Fri mornings. She will get group physical, occupational, & speech therapy there as well. We had a fun summer going to the pool often & also went to the zoo & saw the panda bears, penguins, kangaroos, & other animals.

Abigail is almost 21 months old

Hey everyone! Happy 2010!! Abigail is now 20 months old. She will be 21 months old on Jan. 14th. We all had a good holiday. Abigail enjoyed her 2nd Christmas. I think her favorite part of Christmas was helping Mommy & Daddy open her gifts. She loved playing w/ the bows. Abigail is pulling herself up to standing & is learning some more sign language. She does the sign for all done & I'm teaching her the sign for please. Abigail said cracker for the 1st time the other day! Hopefully she will learn more words before long. She continues to do well in school & enjoys seeing her friends on Tuesday & Thursday mornings. Abigail is done with the bottles & is doing good without them. Abigail was recently diagnosed with a mild hearing loss in both ears & they recommended hearing aids. So we will be getting her fitted with hearing aids soon.
