6 months old

Piper is 6 months old, actually 6 and 1/2 months as I type this, but it doesn't matter. At her appt. she was 15 lbs. 1.5 oz (25%) for weight, 25 and 3/4 inches for length (45%), and 42.25 cm head circumference (40%). She's moving out of the 25% in some categories, but people always comment on what a petite little girl she is. She is so much fun these days, rolling everywhere, scooting on her belly to get whatever she wants, rocking and trying real hard to crawl, loving paper and ripping it to pieces, laughing and giggling, playing peek-a-boo, making the B sound and blowing spit/food all over the place, settling herself down and going to sleep, trying to wave to people, and just being all around super cute. She has gotten her first fever. This past week at daycare they had a picnic on Monday and Piper was sneezing really bad so we thought maybe it was allergies. The sneezing lead to runny nose and congestion and a 99.3 fever on Tuesday which we thought might still be allergies or teething. Wed. morning was the same story, but Wed. night the fever spiked to 102. I gave her two doses of tylenol that night and when we went to the doctor on Thursday the fever was all gone. He ran a flu test just to be sure, but it came back negative. Each day Piper had very little appetite, was super fussy, and very clingy for me. On Saturday I noticed a sharp little corner of her bottom left front tooth has poked through. So who knows what the reason was for the fever, but we're all better. Our pictures with the lamb chair weren't that great this month as Piper really wanted to look at the lamb not the camera.

She's definitely our sweet little pumpkin!
