Today Julia shook her finger at me and told me "Ite back!" She was going to the next room for a book. When she came back to us she smiled and proudly announced "Mama...Oo-ee-uh ite back!" (Mama, Julia right back!)We burst into gales of laughter...these little things probably don't seem like much to the parents of typically developing children but to us they are pure joy! We are thankful for EVERY BIT of deliberate communication we get from our Julia!

I love hearing these stories! Yeah for you, Julia!
I'm not surprised! That child is going to be the wittiest one yet, just you wait!
OH how neat! My son has dyspraxia (was apraxia... no words before 3, and nothing very intelligible until 5) and I remember that! Oh wow, every word, minus the first consonant. I remember that so well. But she's talking! Later it will be sweet memories.
Aloha,
My daughter Akeelah had CDC. She passed away 3 hours after birth. Thank you for sharing the beautiful story of your daughter Julia. It gives me a glimpse into what life with my daughter would have been like. I too would have celebrated all the 'small' things as that's what makes life worth living.
Thank you again,
Lauren
