15 month check up

I can't believe it but it was time for Luke's 15-month check up. I can't believe that he is that old already. Wow. Time sure does fly, doesn't it?
He is officially 33 inches tall and 29 pounds 2 ounces. If you don't know what any of this means it means he is growing wonderfully and he is really big! He's healthy and happy and right on track. Except for the talking thing... He doesn't really say any words yet. Well, at least we know what to do if his repertoire doesn't pick up. Jaden has us very familiar with that :)
He falls in the top 5% of 15 month old boys or said a different way: he's bigger than 95% of 15 month old boys! I thought for sure that he is much bigger than Jaden was at his age. I know that Jaden was in the top percentiles as well but I just don't remember him being so big. The doctor was curious and looked back through their records. Jaden was actually 34 inches long at 16 months and 27 pounds. So, he was a little taller and thinner but still pretty darn big. Luke his just a little more on the "stockier" side. Hence, his new nickname courtesy of Dad: "Tank". I like to call him "twinkle toes" because of how fast he moves his little fat legs when he's trying to run. I know those nicknames yield very different images but I like to think of them both as fitting. He's multifaceted :)
