This little ditty fits Afton quite nicely- though she does not have red hair or pigtails for that matter and so far, she has not learned to play the bagpipes. Hopefully, that will be in her future, though! Here's the Wee lass: 
Can you believe it? 9 months!
After her doctor's appointment, I took a survey on what people thought her weight might be. These are the answers I got: 12 lbs, 22 lbs, 10 lbs, 30 lbs, and 18 lbs.
Turns out, none of them are right...
Afton is at a the 25% for weight at a nice 17.1 lbs.
Told you, a wee lass! Though, NOT 10 lbs small. (these were all adults I asked... not even children)
She is 50% for height, though, so just a normal Sharlee/Zach kind of baby.
Other stats on Afton:
She loves to see people, she does not love other people. Mommy is the only one she really likes to be held by (which doesn't make Daddy very happy).
She loves to pull hair, especially Hyrum's.
She loves to eat food- if I give her a bite and put it straight in her mouth, she spits it out. She must feed herself. Though, if it's baby food she likes, she'll let me do it.
She LOVES music. She would play at the piano for an hour if I had the time to sit there and hold her up to it. She loves to dance to techno (yep, a typical Sharlee/Zach child) or anything up-beat.
She crawls like a normal baby on carpet, but on the hard floor she has developed a crawl/slide to keep her knees from hurting? or maybe to give her more traction on the slippery floor? I need to video it...
She has almost 6 teeth- the last one is visible but not quite through yet. All the better to bite you with!
She does NOT stay still for diaper changes which leaves me no choice but to resort to the trick I learned with Hyrum, long ago... lay them on the ground, hold their arms down with MY legs and change the diaper as fast as I can! It makes her mad, but it works!
I love my sweet little babe!

She's such a cutie! (She weighed exactly the same as our little guy at 9 months, 17 lbs, 1 oz.) I also have perfected the hold them down with your legs diaper change. It's a pretty good move! :)
Hey there Sharlee,
What a little darling you have. It's hard to believe she's eating, crawling, and showing great disapproval for her diaper changes. Speedy changing to you. Thanks for the book list you left over at the Cook Family Blog. I am writing them down this morning.
So maybe this explains Chloe's situation! She has just learned to scoot/crawl on her bum but our house has all hard floors except a small carpet we put in the living room! No wonder she has never learned to move, the floor's too hard:). We're working on it, though. How's the torticolis? She is such a cutie!
