11+ Months Hearing

This girl loves to accessorize these days! That hard thing is dealing with hats and things that go on her head, because her magnets and processors get in the way and tend to fall off. Speaking of the word "off", Natalie has now learned to say it. She loves to point to all the light switches and say "off" and then proceeds to turn our lights on and off.


Here is a brief video of how well she understands a task and then does it...



She also really loves bows and I can understand when she asks for one, or two, or three....


We are still working on speech babble with her and alternating vowel sounds. She is the type of personality in therapy that likes to do things her way and we just kind of go with the flow with her. Some days she is really good about repeating back ling sounds, or speech babble, and other days she would rather juts watch and observe. I do know that she is really inputting so much of what we say and do though.


With our Christmas decorations out, it has brought so many new and interesting things AND vocabulary to learn. Natalie already understood who our elf Lilly was after day #3. It is amazing that she has learned that so quickly. We can ask where Lilly is and she will go and find her.

This has been a fun time of year for Natalie. I am so thankful she can hear bells ringing, Christmas music, the train around the Christmas Tree and all the wonderful things this season. Such a blessing.

I was wondering about her headbands. My daughter Ella was just activated 2 months ago but hasn't been able to were her processors by her ears due to the incision not healing because of a staph infection. But it has closed now and I wanted to have some headbands like Natalie. I have seen people making them and I have tried but I can't get them right. If you made them I was wondering if you could tell me how you did it. If you didn't would you mind telling me who did or where you got them?
Thanks,
Angela
