We had our 2nd appointment with the Speechie (Kate) and the OT (Mel).


It went really well, Isla did really well, even though she was a bit cranky at first thanks to sleeping in!


Kate is really pleased with how Isla is doing, and said that her tongue tie isn't an issue for her! It was something that I'd always been concerned about, but she assured me that because Isla is able to make "T" sounds it won't be an issue for her. Kate gave us a list of action verbs for us to encourage Isla to use. Kate doesn't think Isla needs any more Speechie appointments, but will meet up with us again in February to see how she's progressing. :D


OT, well, it's all very confusing on that front. Mel has noticed that Isla has 'tremors' in her hands when she's concentrating, and said in order to get rid of them, we need to encourage her to crawl :S Isla's been crawling for 13 months so I'm a bit baffled as to why we need to push her to do it now, but I will discuss it with Michael. Seems like we'd be going backwards making her crawl now that she's started walking with her trolley

Well, there's still another 5 days til we see the Paed and the physio, but my little angel is trying desperately to crawl!!


It's just the cutest thing. The Paed said she wasnt crawling properly (she could only go backwards) because of the problem with her legs. She's now gone 9 days without the walker and the Jolly Jumper and she's up on all fours and bunny hopping!!


What a daggy proud Mum I am...


We're still doing our best to stay positive, and each day her sitting and crawling attempts are getting better and better, it gives us more hope, but we're trying not to get ahead of ourselves.


We know that we're blessed by just having our little Isla - regardless of whether her legs work properly or not, she's the greatest thing in our lives and we'll do whatever it takes to help her get on the move
