Recipe for a half birthday...

What does one do to celebrate six months outside the womb? Abby has spent her half birthday participating in a number of fun half-birthday activities, including...

1. Watching her mom bake half a birthday cake. (Then watching her eat the remaining pink strawberry layers while frosting the half-birthday cake with lime green icing.)

2. Spending a significant part of the day in her birthday suit.

3. Supervising the making of a highlights video, during which she is born, baptized, moved to Virginia, and more in only 2 minutes and 15 seconds.



At six months old, Abby is weighing in at almost 17 pounds and stretches to a whopping 27 inches. That's almost 10 pounds and 6 inches in gain in just six months! The time has flown by, as other parents tried to warn us it would, and we can hardly believe it's been a half a year since Abby came into our lives. What a fabulous time it's been!
