What She’s Doing Now
I realized that I haven’t given an update on Rowan’s development in a while. Basically, she’s a typical toddler. She has tantrums, is STUBBORN, and manipulative. She’s not walking or pulling up yet, but the physical therapist is working on that. Rowan can walk behind a little push toy better but hasn’t figured out the whole “center of gravity” thing. Rowan doesn’t talk much. She reliably says about two words “dada” and “night night” but she signs a ton. Her speech therapist explained that there is something about Rowan’s palate that makes it hard for her to make certain sounds. Eh. Whatever. She has language, that’s the important thing.
As far as anyone can tell, Rowan is typical cognitively but is being held back by her body. Her therapists and her doctors are happy with Rowan’s progress so I am too.
Oh, and tube removal is scheduled. June 21.
YEH!!! Here’s what I’ve heard. Communication is communication. You know what she wants and needs when she wants and needs it. That’s what matters.
Great to hear that! She’s so precious! I loved all the pictures. I’ve been so bad at updating my blog lately. Well, hopefully I’ll get caught up on all my posts and photos soon. Have a blessed day! 🙂
