Eleanor is smiling for the camera.
By N/A N/A June 21, 2026
Eleanor is the sweetest little lady who has been blowing our minds lately with her progress! She is successfully reaching for and grasping items with both hands, clapping, grabbing her feet, looking in the mirror, turning pages of books, and loves to use the switch on the light board. Her sweet little eyes still get tired quickly, but she works hard to process the world around her anytime she is alert. Three cheers for Eleanor!

After a few attempts, he got the hang of it and was able to activate the switch on his own! The smile says it all! Way to go Dallas! We are so proud of you!
