New sounds
Thank you to everyone that ordered Christmas cards from Sophie's school. We ended up selling dozens of packs and raising a lot of money for them.
On Monday we went to the cardiologist for Sophie's annual appointment. Sophie is never excited about the EKG, blood pressure reading, or echocardiogram, but she did pretty good this visit. The great news is that the doctor came in and said that everything on the scans looks fantastic! She said there was no sign of scar tissue build-up or other problems and that this time we don't have to come back for 2 years. Yay!
Sophie just started doing this hand over her mouth thing last week. One of her previous speech therapists tried to get her to do this for months and said it was an important step. So we are very glad to see/hear it. Also, she's doing somewhat dependable raspberries when we ask for it.
I'm trying to get her to do raspberries for elephant sounds. She's currently going through an elephant phase. So, she has lots of little plastic animal toys that she carries around with her. There was a set she got months ago and I think they are bath toys? There's a chicken, sheep, cow and pig. Well, Miss Piggy is by far her favorite. She gets baths with Sophie and many nights I have to pry her out of Sophie's hand after she falls asleep. I can frequently convince Sophie to try some food or drink she won't accept by asking if the pig/cat/whoever wants some? Anytime we go somewhere in the car, Sophie looks for somebody to take with her. I've finally convinced her to leave them in the car so that we don't lose them somewhere. One week the pig got left at speech therapy until the next session the following week. We tore the house apart and I looked all over the backyard for her because we couldn't find an acceptable substitute. Anyway, yesterday she got out a puzzle that has zoo animals in it and she's been carrying around the elephant puzzle piece and wanting to sing this song about them, too. But she also will carry the whole set around and move them different places. I found most of the zoo puzzle animals in the sandbox today and also a bunch of farm animal puzzle pieces were out by her slide. We're excited by this because it's an important developmental milestone.
