 Home now for four months and doing wonderfully.  Our little Eleanor is Tiny But Mighty!  We are all having a wonderful time being a family!  We love Eleanor's personality!  She is a strong willed, happy baby girl who shows us so much love!  It is nice to now to share some of the same experiences as parents of "termies" we feel confident in all of Eleanor's progress and developments ... She is amazing!

By Myself!  She likes to figure things out on her own.
