Day 25

Olivia was so cute today. Her smiles shine so bright! She stayed up close to me in the chamber and was very cuddly. At the end of the dive, the technician signed “all done” to Olivia through the glass. Olivia perked up and smiled. Her face was adorable...it was like she was thinking, “Hey! You know my language!”

Olivia's verbal imitation is improving. She'll copy the “uh-oh” sound, the kissing sound, raspberries, and now will imitate a low scruffy “frog in the throat” sound. She started doing it last week. Probably cause her throat was scratchy, but now she'll do it when I do it. This is very good! Next, hopefully, it will be consonant sounds...and then words!
