Looking for specific Radio Lab (I think) piece

Where can I find a Radio Lab (I think...) recording that was of a girl's speech patterns from birth through adolescence?

I remember hearing it on the radio in about 2006. Was amazing... I think the story was that a professional audio engineer took periodic audio samples of his daughter's voice from birth through high school, and then made a short (2 minute?) piece that showed the progression of voice and thought. Can't find it - anyone know of it? thanks!

I just listened to a TED Talk, albeit from this year, that was similar -- don't know if it was the same researcher, but one part of this has the progression of the word "water" from gibberish to actual word:

Here's the Radio Lab episode ("Time") from May 2007.

Specifically, you want the Unlocking the Secrets of Time segment for the "Nancy Grows Up" recording.
