Sam sitting and playing at 6.5 months old.

Our miracle is 6 months old today!

My heart overflows with joy. Our miracle boy, Sammy, is 6 months old today. The little soul who didn't give up - the little soul whose doctors said couldn't make it into this world, is 6 months old today. I cried with the joy if a heart bursting last night, as Caroline (our 14 year old) said the day before, Mom, I couldn't imagine life without him, and either could I.

He lights up our hearts, what a blessing.

He weighs about 14 pounds now, and about 25.5 inches long(we have his 6 month appt this afternoon so will know for sure) That is up about 9 pounds since birth, and 7.5 inches - while still on the low end up the percentiles, he is just perfect!

He knows the word up - and will reach for your hands to help him stand, then lift his face towards the sky and squeal with delight.

He picks up anything within his reach, and especially likes phone cords and remotes.

He gets so happy when Daddy comes home from work, huge grins and happy jumps.

He adores his brother and sister, and will be lonely when school starts up again!

He isn't so fond of solid foods, just not his cup of tea - I think he will be happier to wait for finger foods, those purees do nothing but make a mess!

We are SO blessed!

Catherine, Ray, Caroline and Christopher
