Shes doing great!

Its been a long 6 weeks since i last blogged, and if you had asked me 6 weeks ago how i was feeling about Savannah's progress i would have told you, that i wasn't happy. I was in a bad place, tired from the baby not sleeping at night, exhausted from the busy year & of course worried about Savannah's hearing & her tests. Of course i must have been the only one thinking this though, because even though Savannah had fluid in her good ear & was testing in the sev/prof range she was talking. Her Speechy said she was doing amazing, she was talking at age equivalent & saying things that some kids her age are not yet saying... Why is it that i do not listen to what people tell me? They are telling me Savannah is doing well & they have no concerns, yet here i am freaking out & wondering whether or not i should push for a CI?
I can honestly sit here now & remember that we have been told over & over that there will be periods that Savannah will have huge burst of Language & then times of nothing new at all. These times are when she is listening & learning & getting ready for her next burst... Well DUH! how could i have not seen this before??? They are right, Savannah goes through waves & right now she is sitting right on the top of a HUGE burst!!!!
I think my NY resolution is to seriously stop stressing & just relax & listen to all the great advice i have been given lately! LOL
I started using the Fm alot more around the house, in the car at the store & during activities in the house.
Ive learned over the last 6 weeks i do not give Savannah enough credit. This little itty bitty 21mth old is AMAZING! she really is! Anyone who has meet her will tell you that you wouldn't know she was deaf! She has come ALONG way since she was diagnosed & im soooo proud of her.
I have lost count as to how many new words we have had in the last few weeks, but to name a few are:

Thank you
Please
Drink (Dink)
Barbie (lol)
Ryder
Blake
Hayden
Nanie
I Love you
More Please
Drink Please
Nie Nies Mama
No more
Not mine
No mama
Stop that
over there
Shoes on

These are just naming a few (because i don't write things down & i have a memory of a shiv lol )of what she is saying, but she is putting 2-4 words together now & of course is still followed by mumbo jumbo , but alot of people have been noticing recently that they can understand her "talk". I am very slack on getting a video of her, i definitely need to capture all these words she is saying, its really awesome :)
She also had her 6mth check with the ENT surgeon who was extremely pleased at where Savannah was. She calls Savannah "an extremely good Hearing aide user." never heard it like that, but she is so right! Savannah has/is done amazing with her hearing aides & is travelling along wonderfully. We still go back for reviews every 6mths to make sure everything is ok still, but there is definitely no CI on Savannah's horizon at this stage...
She does have some hearing tests again next week, which hopefully be better than last time!!

That's all for now, everything is winding down for Christmas Break & thankfully as im exhausted!! Im actually heading off to New York City on the 30th Dec with no kids to visit one of my best friends that lives there!! very excited :)
