I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned here before the journey we’ve been on for the last year or so with Arden (my 2 year-old-daughter) and her speech. Around her 2nd birthday I felt that things weren’t quite right with her speech development, and turns out that things weren’t. So started a road with lots and lots of appointments and evaluations and most importantly, being given tools to help Arden learn to communicate verbally (instead of with the screeches and temper tantrums she was prone to). It’s been close to a year, and I almost can’t fathom how far she’s come and the remarkable progress she’s made.
Enter Skye…speech pathologist extraordinaire! Skye has had such an incredible impact on Arden’s speech, and I simply can’t thank her enough for everything she has done. I don’t know where we would be without her. She has such an incredible gift and is extremely good at what she does. With every visit I’ve been so impressed with her patience and resourcefulness…she comes up with the neatest ideas and fun activities to help Arden, and as a result Arden thinks it’s great when it’s time to go ‘play’ at Skye’s house!
And now, on to some pictures!
I think this is my favorite picture from this session…just seeing these two together so happy makes me smile
(as does the fab flare I got here! The winter sun was beautiful on this day)
Rob just got back from being away for 6-months for work. Just in time for the baby to arrive:
It was a beautiful sunny day…and very cold and windy. Skye was thankful for her internal furnace (aka baby!):
A man who can serenade you with his guitar? definitely a keeper!
Beautiful on the inside and out. Can you believe that this is number 4 for her?
Four pregnancies and almost nary a stretch-mark. If we could only all be so lucky!
