Home for six months!

We've been home for six months and we are doing really good!  It feels great to finally be at the point where we can say that!  Joy seems to be more and more comfortable at home.  We are enjoying her so much.  She is so much fun and she is a sweet girl.  We have been staying VERY busy with Brian and Noah playing football, Brian in the band, school and homework, and Joy going to speech therapy three times a month.  We have the best speech therapist in the area!  The speech therapist recently expressed concern that Joy is not babbling or making any more sounds than she is making at this point.  Joy is still not talking and we have been working on a handful of sounds for the past few months, but all our work seems unsuccessful so far.  We just found out that Joy had fluid behind her eardrums and on Wednesday the ENT replaced the tubes in her ears.  The tubes had stopped up and their was infection in both ears.  We are praying and believing that with this new set of tubes, we will soon see alot of progress in Joy's speech and development.  Even though Joy is not communicating verbally yet, she is communicating with us.  She has learned several signs, her newest signs learned are "open" and "diaper change".  We've been so busy, we haven't taken many pics the last few weeks, but I've included a few.
