Special Exposure Wednesday #7

Ashley is such a girl she loves the camera and giggles every time the flash goes off , making it a distraction from the task at hand when she in the middle of therapy. She is working on balance and a giggle fits is not helpful.

Here is her big brother at the park today riding his hummer bike after school. Ashley is sound asleep in the stroller.

Well it's a week later and my camera is still here needing to be dropped off at Sony Canada for repair. I actually live about 20 minutes from their office but with nursery school and therapy there just isn't a day free to get there yet. I really miss photographing everything Ashley and her two brother do. Can a camera be such a necessity just as my laptop? I wonder what that says about me. She was awesome at physio on Monday she took a step on her own totally unsupported that would have been a priceless photo and OT was also fun today too. I'm left with some of more photos from her 1st year she sure was a cute baby i have to admit even if I'm more then a little biases.

Her 1st birthday she received this Bumbo chair and it was more then a few months after her birth that she could sit in it with out falling from side to side. She has come so far she now she sits on the floor and in OT today sat on a typical school chair with ease.

I'm really missing my camera which is in bad need of repair and my ThinkPad it was property of my employer and since I resigned in July i had to return it this week. I guess i wasn't rushing to bring it back it was a really nice perk and now I'm back to my laptop from 2002 need i say more it's more then a little slow. However i did have some really nice old photos of Ashley as a little babe on the harddrive. I thought I'd share this week.

Ashley during a short stay at home from the hospital that spring on her O2. She was three months old here:

Ashley in Ottawa at 16 months and fresh off the Oxygen this was her first trip to visit her Grandparents in their home. I think we brought the Oxygen just in case for that trip. She now has been heathly and lucky enough to make many more trips to Ottawa for lots of fun. She even looks a little chubby here.

Here's a look at occupational therapy at home this morning. Ashley fine motor skills are coming along so nicely she can really use her hands to pick up many different things, she can pick up her cup with one hand and turn it around to get the spout in her mounth (all by herself) and pass it from hand to hand. Way to go Ashley! Mommy is so proud of you.

Oh and the drinking too is a big accomplishment for my little one!!

Therapy can be fun!! Especially physiotherapy Ashley clearly enjoys learning to balance, step and walk. Play therapy also this morning was even more fun.
