Well, we went to the pediatrician today and I'm pleased to say that Owen is off the charts (way off, more than he's been before) for height at 34"! and he's in the 75th-80th percentile for weight at 28 pounds. If he continues to grow at this rate I can only imagine how tall he'll be at 24 months - that is when you're supposed to be able to double the height for boys to determine approximate adult height.
The doctor was very pleased with his development - he only needed to have 3-6 words in his expressive vocabulary and point to 1-2 body parts on request but he's got lots more in both categories.
He got two shots (boo hoo) and while the first one didn't seem to bother him, the second, the MMR, really stung and he was broken hearted for a few minutes (I almost cried right along with him). He has recovered and is taking a nap so I'm hoping he'll sleep well and wake up refreshed this afternoon.
I've taken a few pictures recently but need to upload them onto the computer so I'll try to do that in the next day or two.
Hope you've all gotten our Christmas cards and enjoyed the pictures of Owen.

Awesome checkup. Owen's Mom & Dad are 'off the charts' too so it's no wonder he is progressing so well. Love, Poppa.
