Happy 6 Months!

What a blessing and delight we've enjoyed with our littlest big boy these past six months!!

Happy 6 Months, Matthew!

Just a couple of notes:

• His laughter and smiles are just plain ol' addicting!
• He's sitting up really well--not quite stable enough to trust on the floor yet, but he's doing great on the bed, and staying upright for longer and longer periods of time.
• "Blackie" is his favorite buddy. :o)
• He is chewing on anything and everything he can get into his mouth.
• He still loves his jumperoo, but he's also enjoying the activities on his exersaucer now as well.
• At his six-month checkup, he weighed 19 lbs. 12 oz and was 28-7/8 inches long!
• As evidenced by the picture taken this afternoon with Blackie, his eczema on his cheeks has completely cleared up! (We're praying that it will stay that way.) I try to use natural healthcare as much as possible, but nothing was working for his cheeks. Praise the Lord, our doctor was able to prescribe a cream that has taken care of it in just a week's time! (And He allowed us to find a coupon that dropped the price from $50 to $5!)

We love you, Monkey! You're a joy and delight!
