Talked to a physical therapist about Freddie
At Edith's speech appointment, I asked the physical therapist about what that doctor had said. The PT checked him out and said he was presenting normally and she completely disagreed with the dr's diagnosis. She also said she's never seen a 2 month old with such great control of his body, especially his head/neck. Just as I thought, my son is utterly perfect and is going to be a Supreme Court Justice. Or President.

Re: Talked to a physical therapist about Freddie
What did the doctor offically diagnose?
And you want Supreme Court Justice. Way easier on the body than presidency.
Umm, we've already discussed this and Freddie and Juliana will be having an arranged marriage.
I think for her age this is still normal.
He *is* totally perfect!!
And yes - VERY normal for her age.
It just blows my mind how they can get the kids to say the words. Like erin calls soap "bope" and I'll be giving her a bath and she'll say more bope more bope and I'll say. sssssssssoap and she;ll say back sssssssssssssss bope!
and i'm like how the fizzucka can I correct that. a) it's cute b)it's hard!
she can't do "s" and she can't do hard c. everything becomes a t or a b
uhhhh yeah. that is a given.
Congratulations! he is beautiful and I am so happy for you. truly.
Of course he's perfect!
I expect to see never-before-seen on ML pictures on the 12th!
Speech Therapy is wonderful if you have a good ST. DD2 has been having weekly session for 2 months and we have noticed a marked increase in her language skills. Don't worry! Ask your therapist for homework if they don't offer it to you. I always want to know what we can work on.
Oh my God, this is C with the word diaper. She says Biaper and I will say "Say D D D Diaper" and she will say "D D D Biaper" lol
tell me about the homework!
L does this same thing. Grandma - amma to her. So we were practicing guh guh grandma. "guh guh amma!"
I thought this was all normal though. How old is Erin? Why are you already doing speech therapy for this??
For us it was things like lable everything so she learns more words. Talk to her constantly so she can hear the ebb and flow of a conversation. Use simple terms to explain what you want and encourage her to ask for what she wants.
DD is very independent and she will get what she wants or needs instead of asking for it. She has a hearing issue and probably a processing issue (still working on what or how) and she is a late talker. Her speech is blowing up though and I attribute this to the ST as well as our constant talking and questioning her.
I try to make it as fun as possible and our ST is very comforting and fun.
remember her biting? her teachers hypothesized that she can't express herself well with speech so she just gets straight violent. I called our pedi who totes waived me on and said not to worry about anything until 30 months.
I kept watching videos of adam at erin's age and he's like talking in 3 or 4 words and she's barely stringing two together and is more comfortable kicking back and letting adam finish her sentences. or pointing, grunting and watching daddy slam down the goldfish crackers on her table. hahah
I called the regional center, they evaluated her for a good 90 minutes and said she should go weekly for 3 months
She understands everything. Has no hearing issues, she is just not speaking enough and when she does she isn't clear or isn't advanced enough
This exactly!!!!!
very good very good!
