Body parts

This week we teach Chehel parts of body by letting ger por water on a baby in a bath tub. We say eyes and then pour water on baby eyes and ask her eyes...lets wash the baby eyes. Same with shampoo...put shampoo on eyes...nose...ears...lips...hands...legs. 
Pour water again repeat same game and then use towel to wipe each part. 
So there is a lot of talking.

Also my speech therapist pointed that we need wait after talking so that she vocalises and tries to say similar sounding word. She instantly pointed out not to give things easily....let child vocalise if he wants water or soap or more.

I found a lot of good respurces on cochlear website...under rehabilitation resources...and that's where my therapist showed me to create an experience book...one a week.
I am happy to update my speech therapist with below update in a week.


1. Audition : Chehel point to eyes, nose and lips. If we say 'hands up up up' she will do hands up but she does not yet point to hands if we prompt hands and legs. Sometimes she vocalises Ha for hands. We used own hands as stencil to draw hand on paper...she instantly said Haa.
If we sing the song ' little baby..'.she starts swaying the baby and starts pointing to eyes of baby. If we ask her ' Tissue to wip your nose' ..she gets tissue and wipes nose. Putting lip gloss on baby lips.
2. Speech :  Chehel is making a lot of 'ee' sound while playing....some 'gu gu' sounds. She is pointing to things and babbling as if talking.
If I wait longer to make her vocalize for e.g. Open before opening .....she will end up crying and pointing to the object. Need some inputs on how to improve this?
Calling name game : Papa turns if Mama calls and says Yes Mumma. It made her vocalize 'Aa aa' with the correct intonation. If she hears Papa talking from another room she calls aaa aaa. She uses same aa aa for mumma too.
Vocalises Aww for 'All done' and Uu for Up.
3. Cognition:
We build car and bridge from blocks. 'Beep beep Car' works.
The word bridge was not registered but she enjoyed moving toys under the bridge.
4. Social:
Chehel copied me and said He to someone when i said Hello.
She does wave 'Bye' with the gestures if we tell her do bye bye. Does not vocalize for Bye yet. Best part is she waves when the person is gone.

Experience books: A book named 'My Day ' with everyday activities like brushing...eating...cooking in play kitchen...drawing..sleeping is ready. I admit that I forget to read it to her everyday..
Taking lots of pictures to make more.

New updates:
1. Music...She recognizes and does rhymes action if I sing them.
Twinkle twinkle
Heads shoulders
Wind the bobbin up
Lets go to the zoo
2. Low volume sounds : I upgraded mapping program settings on one side and it makes her blink early morning or if i am talking loudly close to her. But  the good thing is she can hear Papa from another room and says aaa aa.
3. Pointing to new words like teddy spoon in book reading.
4 I think she is aware of whisper sounds...but not sure if she understands what is said.
