On May 29, Miller went for his 9 month checkup. He weighs 23.5 pounds and is 30.25 inches long. Dr. Blake says he is still in the 90th percentile for weight and height. He also said that Miller's skin looks better, and that he is very healthy. We are blessed with not only his health, but also Miles' good health. I thank God every day for that!

Time for your checkup. This is typical of any checkup nowadays. Miles plays with the doctor's tools while Miller messes up the paper and goes everywhere.
Look at those teeth!
