As she never tires of telling us, SteelyKid keeps getting bigger and bigger. How big? She can touch the ceiling!

OK, she has to be on my shoulders to do it, but the distance between her head and the ceiling has gotten really small. She's huge!

No wonder she can see farther. She can ride on the shoulders of giants. It's a great start for her scientific career. (Wow, they get big fast.)

Thank you so much for the toddler blogging! It always makes me smile. Our little one is approximately half-way in between those two shoulder rides.
