Piper 10 Months

Size: We had her 9 month check up on July 7th (so closer to 10 months than 9). She weighed in at 20 lbs 4 oz and was 29.25 inches long. 70% for weight and 90% for length.  I'm pretty sure Lily was only 18 lbs at a year!

Sleep: Pretty much the same.  Down for the night around 7 and sleeps until 5:30 or 6:00am. Last night was 4:00am and she maybe went back to sleep for a half an hour.  I'd be happy if she could just stay in her own bed until 6:30am like her sister but I suppose we have to be grateful that she sleeps through the night.

*i wrote this a couple of days ago. We got a sound machine and Pipers been sleeping in later!

Food: We still offer bottles at 7am, 12pm and 6pm but she's becoming less and less interested.  She either downs it or just plays with it.  She eats 3 full meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I mean FULL meals.  This girl can eat.  We've offered her pretty much everything at this point except nuts and peanut butter.

New milestones: Army crawling. Fast.  I keep trying to get her up on her knees but she just slides back down to her tummy.  Clapping a ton.  Saying Momma and Baba. 

*real crawling! Started over this past weekend.

She is so much more aware of everything now.  She wants so badly to play with Lily and all the big girls when we are at playgroup or with friends.  I can't get over how happy she is.  We get asked all the time by daycare parents, strangers, etc if 'she's always like this' and gladly the answer is yes.  We've been enjoying lots of outdoor time and pool time.  She is quiet the water baby.
