All things that Samuel "said" today at his evaluation for his speech delay. It was an hour of a wonderful woman evaluating Samuel today. We have these Ages and Stages Questionnaires we fill out every time we go to the doctor for a well child exam. They just use that to make sure a child is where they should be. When we went in about 6 weeks ago, Samuel was very delayed on speech and gross motor skills. The lady was very in awe that he was delayed in gross motor. I told her at that time he had not started to walk yet, and things like that. She said from watching him today he has wonderful fine and gross motor skills.
She did say he was delayed in his speech. They are going to do an extensive evaluation in the next couple of weeks to see just how delayed he is. If it is a significant delay, they will give us the choice to sign him up for therapy in home or to give it more time. We will just have to wait and see.

Just wanted to say that I have read your blog for a while now. lol
My DS started speech a month ago. At his eval they said he was behind is fine and gross too. I think he was just super shy and didn't want to do things with new people. But he is doing great and imitating a lot of what the SLP says to him. It's fun to watch. Just wanted to say that I hope it goes well for you and Samuel as well and that he gets caught up! :)
I am glad you are getting some answers. I do hope you dont flip out though because until 1 wk before Tyler's 2nd birthday the only words in his vocab were mama,dada and bottle and those were used for everything. From the dog to his cup. At 2 he exploded that now we wish he would quiet down for a bit. So seriouslly dont worry too much..and you know I read you all the time :)
