Hubby was leaving for work this morning and Emmeline has been running a slight fever so was in bed with us.
He came in the room to say goodbye to us and when he was near the door, Emmeline yelled "bye da!" and waved. We both sat there, mouths open, looking at her and she began playing with her hand like nothing happened.
She has come a loooooong way from when we first found out she had a major stroke in utero, has sp*stic diplagia, and were told she was severely developmentally delayed. She didn't roll over until 10 months, and still can't sit up unassisted, crawl normally, or walk, but to finally have a milestone after so long of not having one is amazing.
For her to have picked up and understood the word "bye" and "da" is just so relieving. We now know she can comprehend, and imitate, and talk!! She's been signing about 6 words for 5 months now, so to finally here her say something meaningful without babbling is great!!!!!
Okay, I'm done with my frenzied excitement
