New Words!

Gwyneth has been slowly progressing with her speech development. Just this week, for the first time, she is able to say "mama" consistently. Tricia is very excited. Below is a video that highlights a few of the words that Gwyneth can say (there are more), both by sign and by mouth.

    Wow. Well done Gwyneth. I love learning new signs, something I really want to learn is sign language. I only know bits of BSL, Auslan and Ameslan!

    If that isn't joy personified, I don't know what is... I've been praying for your girl before she made her way into the world and whenever I see pictures/videos of her now, she always reminds me of how our awesome God answers prayers that to men seem unanswerable. Destiny

    I can't understand much of what she's saying, but it's clear SHE knows what she's saying! :) And of course you do too, but the best is that Gwyneth has two good ways to express herself: signs and words. She is beautiful. And smart. I hope she continues to make steady progress, and I bet it will get faster and faster as she matures. :D

    Way to go, Gwyn! Nate, thank you for sharing! I've been wondering for a long time how Gwyn was progressing with her hearing aids and speech and sign. Looks like she is progressing as she should in her own pace! I'm proud of her and I'm glad you all are utilizing total communication (both sign and speech). :)

    Congratulations! I am loving this. As a momma myself, my favorite, of course, was "Mama!" I love her inflection with that one too! Keep up the great work Gwyneth! We love getting snippets of watching you grow!

    Oh what a beautiful miracle! Music to my ears (and eyes!) My son has Dyspraxia which often causes speech delays. He has been in speech therapy since he was 3. He's 9 now and talks up a storm. There is still much to be done, but I can only empathize with you on how wonderful it is to hear your child speaking! Blessings to you three always!
