Check(up) Please!

Today, Blake had his 18-month doctor's appointment. They weighed him, measured him, poked him and smiled at him. As usual, Blake's least favorite part was the needle in the thigh (this time, a routine flu shot).

On the scale

Here are Blake's official stats:

Height: 34" (almost 3 feet!) -- 90th percentile
Weight: 27 lbs 0.7 ounces -- 60-something percentile
Cuteness: 200th percentile

I also took Blake's official 18-month picture next to Billy Bear. I'll compare every 6 months now instead of every one month. Below are the most recent, followed by the first 12 months of his life. You can see just how grown-up he's getting. Now enjoy this trip down memory lane... memories of when Blake really was a baby and not the big kid he is today.
