Words

For those of you who know or don't know, Kelbie has been taking speech for over a year now. We started at this one place for about 3 months and I hated it. We moved to a different location that only has 2 therapists, Karen and Lindsey. Karen worked with Kelbie up until about a month ago when she had to change her schedule and now Lindsey is her therapist. I have noticed such a huge change in her vocabulary over the last few months. Some if it I think is due to the tube she had put in over the summer which helped with all the fluid she was having in her ear ( I am thinking we might need a new one put in when we go back next week). Anyways the whole point of this post is the excitement I have for all the new words I hear her say. I am sure there are many more then I can think of, but I can actually understand about 90% of what she is saying and asking for. I am hoping this is the same at school, but I have not heard anything about her speaking from her teacher. She still isn't making full sentences like some kids her age but we are getting there. We also have to work on the end sounds of her words. She doesn't quite get that you have to say the end syllable of the word as well. Just had to share how happy I was that she is now finally saying more then about 10 words and isn't using only sign language to communicate. Here is the words I can think of off the top of my head that she can now say and for the most part we understand.

(We are also working on Brayden and Trystan, but you can't quite make them out yet)
*I am sure there are more but these are the ones that come to mind. She also doesn't say these completely correct but like I said we are working on it and we can at least understand the words now. Hoping to have complete words and short sentences by summer.
