Experts say Aliyah will likely be 5 ft. 9 in. at age 18:-)

This prediction is a "best guess" but it's still just that -- a guess. Based on the formula we used* there is a 50 percent chance that your girl's full-grown height will be within 0.7 inches (above or below) of this prediction, and a 90 percent chance that it will be within 1.7 inches.

THE FINE PRINT: Parents' heights are a good predictor of a child's adult height, but heredity only accounts for about 70 percent of what goes into deciding how tall someone will be. The other 30 percent comes from environmental factors, like eating habits (poor nutrition can "stunt" a child's growth) and exercise patterns (a competitive gymnast may not grow to her full potential).

Excuse mommy for not blogging for a while...she couldn't keep up with my growth speed.

Our Iphone Whiz Aliyah!

Aliyah with her cousin Caroline

At first I was one of those mommies who said that I would never let my daughter touch an iPhone. Now, I see the benefit for both the child and parents. As parents, we sometimes use it as a babysitter (for one of those moments)and for a child, I think Apple’s apps are one of the most greatest teaching tools out there.

Aliyah learns her letters, numbers, shapes and colors. She puts together puzzles, learns how to match objects and play games that teaches her the difference between right and left. She always has fun drawing funny faces with daddy on family pictures. All good as far as we're concerned. I think, like many things, that the IPhone and it’s apps can be used in an appropriate manner, or they can be overused and abused. We make sure she has interaction with parents and other people and also expose her to real toys and books and she is good!!!
