Soundbooth Check

A few weeks ago Lily went for a soundbooth check at 6 months post activation. She responded to speech at 20 dB in her left ear and 15 dB in her right ear. She seems to be doing great. Her newest word is "ball." Cochlear implants are truly a miracle.

Here are some pictures of Lily and mommy and Lily and grandmommy with the snow princess Lily's daddy and our friend, Jason built.

The School Baby

Cute story. . .Lily is with me at the elementary school where I teach quite a bit. Therefore, many of the kindergarteners, first graders, and second graders see her often. A few days ago someone asked who the baby was. One of the second graders responded, "Oh that's Lily, the school baby." My sweet Lily, you are loved by many.

Lily's New Words

Lily keeps adding new words to her list of spoken vocabulary. Of course the words aren't perfect...probably only those close to her would understand, but she is definitely talking to us. Her new words are baby, thank you, belly, eye, book, duck, kitty cat. Yay Lily!
