Piper is becoming fiercely independent. When she decides she wants to do something, she works very hard until she figures it out. Until she wants our help, then she wants it RIGHT NOW. And she has been known to throw a fit or two if things don't go her way. She likes to push the grocery cart at the store, push her stroller (rather than ride in it), use a fork and spoon even if her food doesn't require it, and drink out of a big person water bottle instead of her boring old sippy cup. She is so funny and so exhausting. When she wakes up in the morning, she is honestly delighted to face another day. It's like "oh YAY! Here I am again! Being alive ROCKS". She scrambles over to grab her bear and holds it up to show me.
Josie is a bit more laid back and tends to go with things. She doesn't get quite as frustrated when we make her ride in her carseat, or take her to the grocery store, for example. She likes to observe and watch and seems happy to be out and about. She also really likes to sing and dance. Turn on some turns and she shakes her shoulders and sings a few notes. She is still really cuddly and when we go to put her down for a nap or for the night, she quickly lays her head on our chest to get a few minutes more out of us. She is very polite and her favorite thing to say is "tank you". She says this whenever she hands something to us. She also signs "please" whenever she wants anything.
We had their 18 month appointment and they are almost exactly the same size.
Weight: Josie was 21 lbs 6 oz and Piper was 21 lbs 8 oz (about the 10th percentile)
Height: Both were 30 3/4 inches (about the 25th percentile)
Head: Both were 18 3/4 inches around (about the 90th percentile!)
Not sure what kind of face Piper is pulling, but believe it or not, this was the best picture we go out of them.
