We had a follow up IA appointment at CHOP on January 20. Anna has made HUGE measurable strides, the biggest being in fine motor where she gained 10 months in the 3 months home. The best news though was that the DR and OT were amazed at how well attached she appeared. I attribute this to lots of unconditional love, just as much prayer, seriously good OT and her foster Nai Nai.
She is learning as many signs as we can teach her. Her hearing loss is starting to become an issue as words are becoming increasingly misunderstood (chair, hair; try, cry; etc.). She is showing us an eager to please, fun loving personality. In the below video you can see the two year old testing too. She is signing "sit down" when she sees me watching her. She signs and sounds "thank you" when she makes up her mind to do what I'm telling her to, rather then when she actually does it. She does this all the time and I find it hilarious. Don't mind that I let her play up on the coffee table. I'm thrilled that she is able to get up and down on her own.
