"This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God's way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness." (Elisabeth Elliot)

Wow! What a Big Boy!

Sammy's six month stats as of yesterday:
Weight:  21 lbs, 3 oz.
Length:  28 inches

Our response since his birth "Wow!  What a big boy!"

I'm speechless every time.  I think I gave birth to a small giant.  His transformation has been amazing and dramatic.  Our biggest challenge as parents seems to be keeping this boy clothed.  What a small (big) miracle we're blessed with.  Not sure whether Sammy will be a linebacker or a Navy seal, but God has great things in store for our little man.

Sammy's teething pains will probably continue through the rest of this week, poor guy!  Hang in there.  We love you, keep growing, but not too fast, ok?  Well, I guess that's out of my control but God made you a cuddle bug so I'll enjoy your snuggles as long as you'll give them to me baby bear.

Thought he was 22 lbs, is he shrinking or is that just wishful thinking?

We were just having fun guessing, but we were a little off.
