Six Months

I cannot believe it has been six months since Stephen was born.  I remember it very clearly, and hope it is always a fresh memory in my mind.  In the past six months, Stephen has grown so much!  He is a big boy; at his 6-month check-up, he weighed 18.1 pounds, and was 25.5 inches long!  He now sits up on his own (though he still falls over if he's reaching for something!) and loves fruits, especially mango.  It amazes me to see how he changes every day.
