This video is a great demonstration of what Noa can do when motivated! In this example - swimming is the motivation. It takes her some time to get the pants off, but she does it, and as you can see she is really proud of herself too.
Noa has been doing so many great new things - I hate that I haven't been able to keep up with all of them here, but really it's leaps and bounds. It's not just skills, though there have been a lot of those, it also seems to be a conceptual understanding of the world that is really expanding. For example, last weekend we started working on doing her "ears, eyes, nose, chin, mouth - that's Noa!" song with Mommy. At first, even when she found the parts on mommy the song still ended with "that's Noa!" But now she gets "that's Mommy!" or Daddy or Lissa - and she really gets the idea that these are the same parts that she has but on different people - which for someone who can't see is a big realization!
She also seems to understand more and understand more quickly. Yesterday all we had to do is tell her we were going to swim and she sat straight up from naptime and cheered and started to scoot out of bed.
