Sorry, family! Its been ages since we've updated you on Sophie's progress.
Life has been hectic in the best of ways. Big sisters are doing sports and Sophie
has 2 new playgroups that are filled with lovely mommies and their babies and toddlers.
Sophie has had a real burst of language lately. Her ASL is as sharp as ever but most
notably she's really become attuned to speech and has become a wonderful mimic. She is also
vocalizing (often intelligibly) more often on her own. Here's a sample:
These are from a month ago:
Please Ball Down
Ball Please
Sophie loves puzzles
This is from today:
Bubble Pop
Mama Please
Sophie amazes and delights us with her progress each and every day. We are loving life
and soaking up the last of her baby years as she's growing far too quickly!
Baby Sophie is now a bilateral cochlear implant user. She was implanted at 11.5 and 12.5 months of age. These posts are a way to keep family and friends up to date on her progress. We also hope to build a network of new friends along the way. We have a lot to learn on this journey and are also amassing lots of info that we would love to share with parents new to this journey.
