It looks like Shannon is gonna need to have some speech therapy in the near future. Erin had her friend over to give Shannon an "unofficial" speech evaluation and she scored below average.
This Friday we go to the pediatrician for Shannon's yearly check up and a hearing test. Once she passes the hearing test (while we think so will) then she is going to Children's Health care of Atlanta for her official evaluation.
Basically Shannon should be talking better than she does now. Using 3 word statements and verbs. Right now she is a mix of one word statements and baby talk. She does talk well at times, but overall she should be doing much better.
She was technically born a month early so that might have something to do with her development. We shall find out next week.

On a brighter note, Shannon went to her orthopedic doctor for a yearly check up on her feet and everything looks great. We don't have to come back for another check up for 2 years.
