Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

I just love this little bikini.

It's just a little bit big so one strap falls down sometimes . . .

Big brother makes sure she keeps her top on! Hopefully he continues to look out for her like this as they get older! :)

She's two!!!

Celena turned 2 on July 17. I can't believe how the time has flown by! She is growing up so quickly - she counts to ten, talks non-stop and can put 4 words together already, and recognizes a few of the letters of the alphabet. She is such a compassionate little thing and often tries to help out her big brother when she recognizes that he needs something. She's also quite opinionated, especially when it comes to clothes. Typically, if something is cute and I want her to wear it, she refuses and says "I don't like it". So she's ornery too, but it's cute. I love this little girl!

She's growing like a weed. At her 2 year check-up, her measurements were:

- Weight 28.6 lbs (72%) (she's actually a little lighter than this, as this includes the baby doll that she wouldn't let go of when she was on the scale)

- Height 35 inches (81%)

She wasn't cooperating with the nurse when she was measured, so the nurse wasn't sure how accurate the height measurement was. I thought there was no way that she was that tall, so I measured her when we got home and she's actually a bit taller at 35 1/2 inches! If we follow the rule that you can predict her adult height by doubling her height at 2 years old, then she'd be 5'11"! I can't imagine that is right, but we'll just wait and see.

There are some pictures from her birthday in the slide deck at the top left side of the screen.

Happy 4th of July!
