Quick Speech Update

It's been a little while since I've mentioned Kevin's speech.  I feel that he's made a nice improvement after only about 2 months of speech therapy.

He now calls me "Mama," not just "BahBah."  He says "Da-dey," instead of just "DaDa."  He can say a variety of words that use the O sound.  Also, he now notices how many syllables are in a word.  For instance, if he's trying to say butterfly, he'll make a word of 3 syllables, such as "luh-luh-lah."  Before starting speech therapy, he'd only say words of one syllable.  I know he still has a long ways to go, but it's good to see improvement!  There are some words that he now says extremely clearly, such as "Dora!"  Also, he will greet people when he sees them.  When he tries to say hi, it comes out more like "Why!"  But, before, he wouldn't take the initiative to greet people.  It's all small steps, but we're seeing a lot of small steps.

I'm happy!
