But, at six months, we think he's made a pretty impressive start. He shows spirit we can only delight in, fight that gives us strength and, with his wide grin and gentle nature, he charms everyone he meets.

He is helping us climb higher mountains and has unlocked depths we didn't know we had. He brightens up each day.
