Bennett actually turned 18 months over a week ago but today was his check-up with the pediatrician. Outside of B's multiple escape attempts (why, oh why did they choose to use toddler-operable pull-down handles on the doors in a pediatricians office??) it was a fairly uneventful visit. He's healthy, growing well and hitting developmental milestones. Thank you, God for a healthy, happy child!
The obligatory stats:
Height - 35.25 inches (>95%)
Weight - 29.4 lbs (86%)
Head - 19.5 inches (89%)
B's been at the top of the charts at every visit and so far isn't showing any signs of slowing down. I certainly don't expect him to stay in the top 5% for height for too much longer (although for the sake of future athletic pursuits his father hopes otherwise). It's just not in his genes to be huge.
Unfortunately for dad's lofty dreams the child is likely to be somewhat puny through at least middle school. I'd bet he ends up like his parents, slightly taller than average and on the thin side. Hopefully he'll at least inherit his father's coordination. Poor kid is certain to be the laughing stock of 7th grade PE if he takes after me and is skinny AND a complete klutz.
Only time will tell.

Did Stacey say inherit his father's coordination?
Awww...happy 1 1/2 years, Bennett! Keep up the good work! I'd definitely keep bragging about those stats while you can...you never know. He might surprise you ;) By the way, super cute pic, too!
