No Pictures, Just Progress

I apologize that I do not have any pictures to post, but I do have a progress update for everyone. 

Today her speech therapist, Stefanie, came over and did a Pre-school Language Scale Test.  This is a test that they do for normal hearing kids.  Here is how Sadie scored:

Receptive Language (what she understands):

Sadie’s Score: 150

Age Equivalent: 2 years, 11 months

Expressive Language (what she says):

Sadie’s Score: 133

Age Equivalent: 2 years 1 month

Total Language

Sadie’s Score: 145

Age Equivalent: 2 years 6 months

Standard Score of 85-115 is normal range

Sadie is 99^th percentile!!!!!!!! 

I could not be more thrilled and am so thankful to have grandparents, family, friends, and therapists who are all involved with Sadie's life and have helped her to get where she is at.  She couldn't do it without them. 

Next up - Calculus! :)

Christmas 2011

Sadie had a wonderful Christmas this year.  She was spoiled rotten by all family and friends!  I won't write too much as I know everyone just wants to see pictures!

Our first Christmas party was at my manager's house.  Sadie dressed up and ready to go!

 How dare you set me down, mom!!!

 Okay, I have recovered.

We spent Christmas Eve at my grandpa's house.  Sadie had a great time opening her presents!

 Hmmm, what's in here?

Oooh, a new magna doodle.  Thanks Auntie Chris!

Christmas morning was spent at my parents house with my brother and his wife Nell. 

 Or course a bow is a hat.  Anything can be turned into a hat!

 Opening more presents.  This is tough work!

 A New HAT!

 And another new hat!

And a fur coat.  Dad says I look like a pimp :)

The Tuesday following Christmas we celebrated my grandpa's (Sadie's Great Grandpa's) birthday.  Her and her cousin Xavier were the center of attention for most of the night!

 Check out my sweet dance moves!

Who knew tissue paper could be so much fun!

Sadie has also decided that vacuuming is a bunch of fun.  Fine with me, she can do all of it!

 This is pretty fun!

 Um, should I be getting paid for this?

And finally, Sadie has decided she needs a new accessory to go along with her hats.  She now LOVES her bibs and wants to wear them all the time.  Hence the 3 bibs she is wearing below.  What am I going to do with this girl? :)
