The 2-year Check-up

Luke went to the doctor yesterday for his 2-year check-up. He did very well. Thankfully, there are no shots at the 2-year mark! And they don't need to see him again for another year! Yay.

Here are the 2-year stats:

weight - 27lbs, 12oz (50th percentile)

height -- 35 inches (75th percentile)

head circumference -- (75th percentile)

So, in summary, he's tall and has a big brain! ha.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUDDY!!

And a special thanks to my cousin Maggie for creating our new banner and for giving me some key pointers on photography and Blogging! She's so creative!! Thanks, Mags!!
