I'm backdating this post. I'm actually doing it on 3/3 but posting it for 3/1 which was the day Brooke actually turned 17months. I'm doing this because we just got her height and weight ;)
Height: 32.5 inches
Weight: 29 lbs
According to the "Baby Growth Percentile Calculator", her height is "between percentile 75 and 90" and weight is "above percentile 95".
As for development, Brooke has become quite the climber lately. Most of this I blame on myself. She was actually behind a lot of other kids her age in the gross motor skills area and so we took two classes that focused on movement. While she is still a bit clumsy, she has mastered quite a few new skills. She is still not 100% sure of herself when getting onto the couch, but is getting better. She has also realized she can climb up on the baby gates (though she has never attempted to climb in her crib, which is a really common act for her age). She has been working hard on trying to jump, and while the idea is there she still needs a bit more practice. Nevertheless, she enjoys yelling "jump" as she hops around the house, and we enjoy watching her ;)
