Measuring up....

I always thought it was an old-wives tale that a height of a person can be determined by their length when they're 2 years old.  It was an old wives tale because I believed in all the other old-wives tale.  Playing basketball or swimming helps you grow taller.  Running a lot or playing soccer will make you shorter. Lifting weights or drinking coffee too early stunts your growth.

Turns out...those are all lies.  Our pediatrician told us that as unscientific as it may sound... two times a girl's length at 18 months and a two times boy's length at 2 years old really is the height they'll grow into. 

So how tall will Nui-nui be....? Well...let's just say she won't be taller than daddy when he walks her down the aisle.  There goes my dream of having a star volleyball player.  Well...she might still qualify to be a setter or defensive specialist.
