Grace is a Happy Little Prawn

So Grace had her 6 month well check yesterday, and we were surprised at the results of her checkup.  First off, I never realized what a little thing she is; Grace went from the 90th percentile in height to the 31th percentile, her weight is in the 7th (even despite all the eating she does!)  As for her head - she's in the 95th percentile.  Auntie Elaine affectionately dubbed her "bobblehead".  *sigh*

The pleasant surprise is that her development was noted as "well above average".  The doctor and nurses were shocked to see that she's not only crawling, but she's also lifting her stomach off the ground, and moving into a sitting position from crawling.  The doctor noted that she's doing what most 8 or 9 month old kids are just starting on - to which we said "that's not necessarily a good thing - her and James generally go in opposite directions!" ;)  It's pretty neat to see her figure out how to turn on toys, find us hiding in other rooms, and laughing when we say "tickle", though.  I'm really looking forward to finding out what her first word will be.  Hopefully it will NOT be "Ace"! 

We're pretty proud of our little G either way - it just proves that great things come in small packages! :D

Look at Me!
