I can't believe that Lily's had her Advanced Bionics Cochlear Implants for 18 months already. She speaks very well and non-stop these days.
Lily comes up with original thoughts, long compound sentences and can make up complex pretend sequences which are amazing Mary Pat in the Babylab.
Here is our latest report.
1. Lily built off mom's model and asked her first "why" question in the lab.
2. Great job of supporting "thinking and feeling" words and supporting Lily's recall (remember when...)
3. I heard her talk about "pretend" using the word for pretend. Wow!
4. You support her imagination in such interesting ways. She is captivated when you pretend together.
5. She is able to navigate this pretend world with your support, which results in a lot of talk not tied to here and now.
6. What interesting problem solving - sit on Mommy's lap to avoid the truck traffic.
7. Very diverse vocabulary use - (neighbors) - with a lot of specifics. I heard many adjectives today in her noun phrases.
8. Very positive to hear the speech clarity. Her words are well formed. Blends at the end of words - whoops and ones (nz)
9. We are hearing additional colloquial expressions. Whoops! yup..there ya go.
10. Continuing to increase utterance length. This is just magical to watch.
11. Lily said "by himself."
12. Think about acoustic highlighting on /h/ (in here)
