Catching Up!

It's so strange when your child who hasn't ever really done something on time suddenly starts doing everything they are supposed to. Elenor has mastered almost every skill a 1 year old should and possibly even more. She got new AFO's so her walking has really improved and even though her head continues to grow she has really learned stability with it.

Sometimes it's really hard to think of how far we have come and what it all ever really meant. If all of the doctor's appointments were in vain when it came down to something no one could help her having. Genetic stuff is crazy and often really hard for people to understand. Me included. I want to understand everything her condition means and what we should expect for her 5, 10, 15 years down the line when she's eventually entering adulthood. Having children. Living a BIG life even though she's LITTLE.

I love my bean. And nothing will ever change that. No matter how many labels the doctors have given her there will only ever be one for me. Love.

Chatterbox

I recently realised when talking to an acquaintance that Elenor is quite the chatterbox in comparison to other kids her age (and even a bit older) and to be honest it feels nothing but GOOD that my daughter who slips behind all of her peers in so many other things EXCELS at this one thing.

Yay Elenor and your 100+ words at not even 2. :D
