Zooey's Progress

Today Zooey had her six month review for speech therapy. I am so proud of her! It's been hard to tell, in the middle of it, to see the full range of progress that Zooey's been making. I can tell she's been saying lots of new words, but today it was really clear how well she's been doing. Zooey met all of her initial goals! She communicates with words when she wants and what she wants to eat with words, she asks for toys by name, even when they're in the other room. She can jump now. She's mostly intelligible to me and Ryan; people who watch her a lot are understanding her more. Our goals until her third birthday include being intellible to primary and secondary caretakers, using more two-word phrases and using specific words to describe activities she's done (rather than just say "play" for example). I noticed and discussed some progress Zooey's had in just the last week. She's hit some huge language milestones in the last week. She started speaking using jargon and does it a lot, she blows bubbles, kisses with a pucker and used more two and even one 4 word phrase that included verbs. Yay Zooey! I am totally praising God for this progress! I pray over this all the time, and I am so thankful to see all her progress.
