piper at 5.5 months

So, piper had a dr appointment today. FINALLY. let me tell you something. after you have a baby and you choose their pediatrician, NEVER move. or you'll have to find a new pediatrician and you probably won't get an appointment for many many moons (or months). i am sad to say that piper's last dr appointment was when she was 2 weeks old or something. (mind you, she HAS been vaccinated in the meantime...)
anyway, so get this: piper weighs 17lbs 9oz....90th percentile and she is 27.25 inches long! yeah 97th percentile. so it appears that this child belongs to neither brett nor myself. which is odd, considering i specifically remember BIRTHING her!
anyway, in other piper news, our amazon of a baby is now "sitting unassisted." that's what they call it in the biz. the parenting book biz. nevermind the fact that she absolutely refuses to roll over. whatever, sitting is more advanced. so it seems she has decided to essentially skip the rolling phase. i dont think she realizes how important it is to be able to log roll. it has many useful applications. the most useful is probably stop, drop, and roll.
and in still MORE piper news, piper has a "wittle toofer." and she seems to have a few more that will be making their drooly debut in the near future.

now for a little montage i like to call: Piper sitting in containers
