what a privilege to continue to document Piper's growth.  these fotos (as opposed to photos) are of Piper's nine month stage.  cute little gal and very precious.  everything with her was fair game to insert into her mouth -- really adorable.  which makes me think that baby's are very bold and rarely fear the little things in life.  how often do i fear such small things and yet i ought to remember the Lord's care.

"Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?... Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, `What will we eat?' or `What will we drink?' or `What will we wear for clothing?'...But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."  Matthew 6: 26-34
