We wanted to post a conversation in ASL, but Ainsley is often reserved once the video camera is turned on... this is mommy and Ains reading a book (well a page or two) voice off.
Ainsley is growing to be such a cute little girl! She is making amazing strides in her development...
*Ainsley is speaking in 6 - 7 word sentences regularly. *Ainsley has begun signing voice off to peers and other deaf adults. *Ainsley tested at age 4 1/2 for visual reasoning. *Fine motor and gross motor skills are right at age level. *She always wants to be "Ainsley first"... meaning she wants to do everything herself first and only when she gets stuck does she ask for help. *Ainsley is making some great friends in both of her schools. *Potty training is going well. We did have a set back during a bout of the stomach flu, but we're getting back to where we were pre-sick.
Dagny is 10 months old! We are amazed that time has gone by so quickly. Here are some recent updates on what she is up to.
*Dagny is starting to cruise and practices her balance letting go for a bit and taking steps when we hold on to her hands. *Dagny loves table food, especially the few carbs she has been able to get a hold of. *She is banging objects together, looking for hidden objects and putting most everything she can get a hold of in her mouth. *We've started her on a sippy cup, but right now she enjoys chewing on it more then just drinking from it. *She is making lots of noises and some babbling, we are taking bets for what her first word will be. *Dagny is doing a lot of expression with her hands, but not signing yet... we're hoping soon.
