Early Intervention Update

Update from Chana:
Dovid and I want to let you know the results of our Early Intervention evaluation from a few weeks ago, when we were almost exactly 14 months old. Here's my evaluation:
Adaptive/Self Care: 11 months
Feeding: 11 months
I am still mouthing non-food items (BLOCKS ARE YUMMY), and I drooled a bit while eating Cheerios (also yummy). I like to eat bite-size pieces of food with my fingers, but at that point I wasn't yet biting off pieces of crackers. I think I can do that now, though! The ladies were really impressed that I can swallow with my mouth closed.
Toileting: 11 months
I still wear diapers, although I think Mommy and Daddy would like us to figure out how to use the toilet...
Dressing/Hygiene: 12 months
I cooperate when someone is trying to dress me.
Social-Emotional/Personal-Social/Interaction: 10 months
I'm very curious about people in the room. I made nice eye contact with everyone and laughed when others were laughing. I was VERY excited when my Daddy came into the room and immediately went over to him. I like to make contact with my parents physically and visually. (I think that means that I like to touch and look at them...)
Cognition: 12 months
I easily transitioned from one task to another, and I have a really good, focused attention span. I was fully engaged in whatever tasks they gave me to do.
Communication - Receptive Language: 10 months
I am very aware of sounds in my environment and I hear perfectly well.
Communication - Expressive Language: 12 months
I made an excited sound when my Daddy came into the room, and I laughed and smiled when I was able to perform a task. I make really good eye contact with people and make noises while playing. I'm pretty close to full jargoning (whatever that means...)
Motor - Perceptual/Fine Motor: 10 months
I have a really good pincer grasp, and my movements are purposeful and well coordinated. I am able to use the right amount of force when using my hands and manipulating objects.
Motor - Gross Motor: 13 months
My movements are smooth and purposeful. I move in and out of sitting, kneeling, and standing without a problem, I walk without assistance and I'm very solid in my body.
As you can see, I need a little work on my fine motor, receptive language and social/emotional skills. Not too bad considering I'm a preemie, right? (Besides, I do blog...I mean that has to count for something, too...)
Update from Dovid:
I didn't do quite as well as my sister did, and I need help in a few more areas. Here was my evaluation:
Adaptive/Self Care: 11 months
Feeding: 10 months
I chew well and use my tongue to move Cheerios around my mouth. I also like to explore objects by putting them in my mouth
Toileting: 11 months
I wear diapers, but I'm curious about that seat in the bathroom that flushes...
Social-Emotional/Personal-Social/Interaction: 8 months
I have very good eye contact and looked at everyone in the room. I showed no fear or concern about strangers and easily engaged with everyone.
Cognition: 10 months
I have a very long attention span. I was distracted by people in the room doing other things, but I was able to get back on task quickly. I easily transitioned between tasks and was curious about everything they showed me.
Communication - Receptive Language: 10 months
I can hear sounds, but I don't respond to verbal requests or look at people when they say my name.
Communication - Expressive Language: 7 months
I make noises when I'm excited and protesting sounds when I'm upset. I didn't imitate any verbal sounds.
Motor - Perceptual/Fine Motor: 8 months
I use my fingers to pick up objects, and my movements are smooth and organized. I used my pincer grasp to pick up Cheerios.
Motor - Gross Motor: 13 months
I move in and out of crawling, sitting and kneeling easily, and my movements are fluid and organized. I walk without any trouble and am solid.
So, I need to work on my fine motor, cognition, expressive and receptive language, and social/emotional skills. I have a lot more to work on than Chana does, but I'm confident that I'll catch up!

Thanks for letting us know how the twins are developing. I can't wait to see how much they're going to grow!
We needed that goal to have that chance. But another mistake and they scored the fourth goal and the game was finished. Ugly as it was, Popovich was doing his best to rationalize the fact it was only one defeat.. She truly enjoys sex, and for the most part, she's content to have a healthy sex life with multiple partners. She has no guilt or shame associated with sex. Sex for Samantha does not require any kind of emotional commitment, nor does it imply any kind of relationship.

"The opening exchanges of that game were pretty physical and they toughed it out, it was a big effort." CYMS player coach Dom Maley, sporting a pretty nasty cut above his right eye, was pretty succinct after the game and while he refused to use his side building casualty ward as an excuse he was forced to acknowledge the impact it had. "We were missing a lot of our size through injury and Panthers just rolled through us in the middle, they a really quality side and they were just too big and too strong for us really," Maley said, still finding positives in the defeat.

I can get? I asked, hurt stinging in my chest. Does that mean? I felt tears starting to build in my eyes at his words. Derek eyes went wide as he glanced over at me, panic on his face.. I live in Toronto, which has it's own sizable population base (pushing three million if it hasn't already passed that), but somehow civic boosters can't seem to shake the kind of cultural insecurity that comes from being a provincial backwater. For the past five virtually all fundraising efforts of six or seven (and I may have missed some) major cultural institutions from the Art Gallery of Ontario to the National Ballet Company have been channelled into capital building funds, thanks to a no longer in power Ontario government that decided to "fix" a situation that may not have been broke by inventing a very generous if you build it they will come matching funds funding model. On the up side, Toronto has a lovely new opera house (our first and long overdue, and maybe the Canadian Opera Company really was being held back by the crummy acoustics at O'Keefe/ Hummingbird Centre) (tags: Cheap Real Yeezys, Discount Jordan Shoes Wholesale, Cheap Yeezys).
