• Christmas!!! Erika received what she wanted from Santa, and so many more wonderful presents. She was thrilled beyond belief.


• We went to the mall and she rode the train with her new build-a-bear "Princess", a Christmas present. "Princess" is pink and purple with a tiara and has Pinkie Pie's voice.


• Ah Yi and Ross came to visit, bringing gifts. Ross gave her lots of rides around the house on his back.


• On New Year's Eve, Erika wanted to ride roller coasters, so we did the next best thing, which was to take her to an indoor amusement park with some rides. She had to stand as tall as possible with her neck stretched high to reach the requisite 42". Can you believe my 3-1/2 year old baby is 42" tall!? Some of the rides suggested "5 years and 42" and I thought "hmm, that makes sense, Erika wears size 5T". You can see how tiny she looks on a ride called the Skyscraper. She had a BLAST, that thrill-seeker!


• Happy New Year and have a great 2014!

have you ever done that "adult height predictor" thing where you take her height at age 2 and double it, and it's supposed to be how tall she'll be fully grown? it's one of those kind of old wives tale type of things, but i did it with my height from my baby book, and it actually calculated out to exactly how tall i am today, so maybe there's something to it. kind of fun. (by that method of calculation, my oldest will be lucky to reach 5 feet tall, and my youngest will be about 5'3")

According to my records, at age 2, Erika was 36" tall, so by that method, she will be 6'0". I'm 5'9" and Brian is 5'10", so it's possible!
