Fiona's Speech Evaluation

We finally got Fiona's speech evaluation scheduled and it was this morning. To say I was nervous was a major understatement. I watched her like a hawk during the test and I could tell where she excelled and where she didn't.

She did amazing and they said she is so smart (oh we knew that). Her scores were very good. She even tested at a 36 month old level in one category. However, her communication skills did test low at a 10 month old level. It's not that she doesn't understand, it's that she's not effectively communicating with words and other forms. They recommended her for therapy.

Speech therapy begins in a few weeks. I feel really good about what's to come and really good that we made the decision to pounce on this issue. I just wanted to update you all and leave with with a sweet picture of my baby girl.

18 Months

Where did my baby go? We are definitely in toddlerhood now :( 

Fiona goes to school 1 day a week now for 3 hours. She is learning to paint, drink from a cup and many other things! Everyday she constantly amazes me at how independent and BIG she is.

She has a stubborn streak and is refusing to talk! We have a hearing test for her next week and ask for prayers. I'll post some about our recent trip to Scotland in a few days and my new resolution is to post 1x a week!

Love!
