She was still taking the bottle for most of her nutrientional needs with some congee thrown in. She had a mouth full of teeth but did not chew. She could suck on a straw but not on her bottle. I also had EI come in and evaluate her for chewing and for speech. She qualified for the chewing but not the speech. They said even though she is only at 12 months for speaking she is now babbling and learning new sounds and signs and she will catch up quickly. Here's what they said for chewing - take a toothbrush and apply gentle downward pressure on her back teeth. This will force her to move her jaw up and down. I did this for about 2 days and she is now CHEWING!! She is still going to do some therapy for chewing but only a few visits. Try it - it might help.<BR/><BR/>Sorry so long!<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>Carlabbmomof2boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04083310095847466910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8904053107855289593.post-40661729423460870322008-09-05T10:03:00.000-04:002008-09-05T10:03:00.000-04:00She is a wonderful girl!

She did GREAT on her testing.<BR/>My youngest son was 14 months when we got him and there were things he was behind in but it took NO time for him to "catch" up. His speech was the slowest as he "took it all in" for a long time and now there are days I would pay BIG BUCKS if he would be quiet for 5 minutes:)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05590329522054940452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8904053107855289593.post-16804786811274129222008-09-05T01:44:00.000-04:002008-09-05T01:44:00.000-04:00Maddy went through a very similar "test" around 6 ...Maddy went through a very similar "test" around 6 months ago and didnt' qualify either. Infact, I think her scores were very similar to Sophies. I was happy on one had that she didn't qualify because it meant, in my eyes, that she was coming along just fine. I'm sure you feel the same. :0)<BR/>Way to Go Sophie!!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980445248386713210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8904053107855289593.post-33505000989813621382008-09-05T00:03:00.000-04:002008-09-05T00:03:00.000-04:00Way to go, Sophie!Way to go, Sophie!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711583593777948158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8904053107855289593.post-6708483980417672042008-09-04T23:51:00.000-04:002008-09-04T23:51:00.000-04:00She is doing wonderfully!!!
