Happy half birthday to you!

Baby Vivian turned six months old this week. At yesterday's check-up, she measured 27 and a half inches and weighed 16 pounds 14 ounces. A healthy, happy, chatty little girl. She's almost standing, but still needs to have at least one hand on something, or a nice grip around the rib cage. She doesn't yet know her name. Last week she turned for "Vivian," which thrilled us, and "Bird," which worried us, and "Pizza," which rather took the wind out of our sails.
