Jordyn had an evaluation today with ECI (Early childhood intervention). Today a speech therapist, occupational therapist, and another evaluator came to our house to acess Jordyn's progress. At her big 6 month multidiciplinary check up, they refered her to see these guys and get evaluated because she was showing a little concern, developmentally. Well they came today and had her do a bunch of stuff, and she blew them out of the water buy not only doing 8 month things, but stuff that is for older babies too. Also, she crawled for the first time, right there in front of them!!! We said "we are a little concerned she isn't even close to crawling yet" then out of nowhere she starts pulling herself around! Her belly isn't off the floor, but it is considered crawling! We also were concerned because she was never using her left hand, unless it was in conjunction with her right, but of course, today, in front of them, she was actually using her left hand more than her right. She still has some trouble with her bottle, but they are not worried since she is 8 months and doing soooo well with solids. She stuffs her face when it comes to solid food, so they just said "maybe she prefers solids and that will make it easy when its time to quit the bottle". After she was done showing off, they said after the evaluation, she does not qualify for ECI!!!! This is great news! This means as of now, she will only be seeing her special pediatrician, and her neurologist! They did say if we ever felt a need, she is in the system and can be re-evaluated at any time, hopefully we will not have to though.
Jordyn says "pssssh...wrong again...."
