Our new typical Saturday

Today started out SO wonderfully.  I woke up to Jeslyn yelling for me.....REALLY yelling for me throught he baby monitor. "Mama, mama, mama" over and over.  I didn't go in right away because I love the sound of it.  After a few minutes, Larkin asked if she could go in to talk to Jeslyn.  I hear her say "Good morning, Jes" and then I hear Jeslyn say "SISSY!!!" 
I walked into the room and her face just lights up and again she yells "Mama!"  Then she points at her diaper and says "Ewww poopoo" and then to her changing table and says "dipey".  Seriously, how is this even possible for a child who only really started hearing 4 months ago?

All day long, she followed me around the house pointing at things and saying what they were. She goes to the refrigerator and I ask her what she wants and she says "Please milk".  When she's hungry she runs to her highchair and says "Eat".  She is in the mimicking phase and repeats everything.  I am just so optimistic about her future and being mainstreamed in school.

I love you my sweet girl!!!

So amazing! Jeslyn's new words....

Jeslyn is continuing to say more words.  She has now gone beyond learning her sounds in AV therapy to saying words.  To date, she says the following words spontaneously:

Hi
Bye bye
all gone
more
please
thank you
shoe
night night
shhhhhh
Cricket (calling our dog)
Joey (calling my mother-in-law's dog)
Larkin
momma
daddy
where'd he go?
Grandma
baby
ewwwwww (when I change her diaper)

All of this since her activation in June!!!!

Here is a video from last night.

She was recently featured in the Children's Hospital magazine.  She did such a great job and the story is really good.  Here is the link to that article.
