9 months of wonder

Piper is now 9 months old and continues to light up our lives! We recently had her 9 month check up and even though she is definitely showing a stubborn streak she is in perfect health and growing more every day.

Her current stats are: Weight: 17.7 pounds (27th percentile)

Height: 25.5 inches (3rd percentile) yes, she is a shorty like her parents:)

These numbers make her look really small but her height to weight ratio puts her in the 89th percentile.

She has her 2 bottom teeth and the tops ones are working on coming in. She loves rolling all over the house and even manages to crawl around the room and over things. She is letting us know that her favorite color is blue and enjoys putting everything possible in her mouth.

When given a choice between something that is blue and any other color she always chooses the blue one. We were Christmas shopping the other day and I found a cute baby doll, one pink the other blue. I held both of the in front of her to choose and she went for the blue one. Then when shopping with Wes she did the same thing, we held a coat in front of her one blue and one pink again she wanted the blue one.

She also thoroughly enjoyed ripping off wrapping paper. She was able to open the majority of her gifts ripping off one piece at a time.
