Shelli has a family!

I am so happy that a wonderful family has chosen Shelli to be their daughter.

Xiang and the Bouncy Balls: Xiang is in a preschool program every morning now, but she still manages to keep busy the rest of the time. Her favorite toys to play with...

New Information: Shelli is now listed on EAC's individual list as "Laura". Please look them up at eaci.com for more information about how to adopt her.

Current progress: Shelli is walking more now and is getting stronger. She is loving her ball right now and can bounce it to a partner on request. She is imitating simple words and using words such as "come come" with hand gestures. She is attending a private preschool 5 days a week and though she watches a lot right now, she is imitating song movements and she likes to scribble with chalk. She continues to progress slowly with eating, but still requires the NG tube to supplement her calories. Her self soothing behaviors are much less and she is making good eye contact. She is not afraid of new places as long as her nanny is with her. She still loves music and likes to "sing" with the songs on the radio.
