Eliza went in last Thursday for an evaluation at the audiologist. Her hearing is about the same as it has been, which means that the hearing aids are still working for her. We were beginning to get a little worried that her hearing loss had increased because she doesn't seem to making all the sounds she should at this age. It's kind of a frustrating thing. These professionals decide where your child should be based on averages and what not, when in reality, every child is different. Maybe we just worry more because of the progressive hearing loss that both our kids have.
The last little while I have been amazed at the amount that Eliza has grown. All of a sudden she has her own little personality, she is becoming more and more a little girl instead of a baby. One way that this is apparent is in her first signs. Recently she began signing a few things, and it is so cute. She signs milk and reaches for mommy when she is hungry. When I come home from work, she signs daddy by smacking the side of her head, it is so funny. She will also sign more by clapping her hands together. I am amazed at how she has quickly picked these up. I don't think she totally knows what they mean, but it is still cute.
She is crawling all over the place and has begun pulling herself up on things to stand. Just last week she started letting go of things and trying to free-stand. This usually only lasts a couple of seconds, and then she falls.
My little Liza is not so little anymore, but fortunately for us, she is still pretty cute.
