OK So I happened to see our Speech Pathologist in the hall last week and casually asked her about Bowen's speech progress. I told her that he is now 15 1/2 months old and says no words. I also told her that he doesn't try to mimic words we say either. I really thought she was going to blow me off and tell me what everyone else has..."he's fine, he'll talk when he's ready". However, she didn't. She gave me a article on what he should be doing developmentally for 12-17 months old, he aced everything but the speech part. She also gave me a number to call for Early Childhood Intervention. So I called them, a very helpful lady called me back today and we have our first appointment for paperwork next Wednesday. She and a Speech Pathologist will evaluate him and if he is 4 months delayed he is eligible for ECI services. You know, I'm not really worried about the boy, he's so smart that if he does need services from them I know he'll catch on quickly. He's doing so much better when I drop him off, no crying and he reaches for his teachers! In the meantime, he is as cute as he can be and totally knows it.

We are going to see a speech pathologist for Chase too! I am glad to know that your kids run around with naked hinies too!
Yeah! Bowen has dimples on his butt like his cousin Robin! :)
Bowen's a smart kid, he takes after his mom, he'll be fine!
I hope the speech pathologist helps him - I know they sure helped your cousin Wobin.
I just wanted you to know that when Bowen and I are alone, he says all kinds of things. We talk about life, poetry, global warming, and sports. He wanted me to tell you that you are a great mom, he loves pooping his pants, and his favorite uncle is me...well, we all already knew that though. Don't worry...he's a stud!
