My mother got her period just shy of her 12th birthday, and so did I, but I started showing signs around 10. Some of my friends started maturing even earlier than that.
It really isn't that unusual for a girl's secondary sex characteristics to begin to show at 9. It's certainly not anything to really worry about. Just make sure she's up to speed on what's happening to her body. I was sure as hell freaked out when I found out that periods HURT (I get wicked bad menstrual cramps, and my first period started off feeling like the worst case of indigestion I'd ever had, but I had no clue what was going on).
