My birthday means not just shellebratory noms and a party, but also time for my semiannual weigh-in and an update to my now annual growth chart! ⚖️

I lost weight again this summer!? At the beginning of April, I weighed 432 grams and more than 15 ounces! Now I have lost most of the weight I gained over the winter! 📉🤔

Mom isn't too worried, however. I have still gained weight since this time last year, and my shell is slightly bigger, too. My growth year over year is still trending consistently, with a gradual slowdown as my growth is starting to top out. Most importantly, I am still my usual bright-eyed, GRUMP-faced self with a healthy appetite! 😤🐢

Mom suspects what really happened is I gained too much weight over the winter and now I am at a more normal weight. This winter, I did move much less than usual (staring at Mom and Grandmom was more entertaining!), I ate more than usual, and I gained much more weight than usual. So Mom says I will be getting fewer treats this coming winter. No fair! 😫

It's my birthday! 🥳 Today marks 11 years since I showed up on Mom’s doorstep in a FedEx box! 🎉1️⃣1️⃣🎊

I loved last year's sparkly party hats so much that Mom saved them for my BFF Brunhilda and me to wear again this year! ✨🎩 Even more exciting: Brunhilda helped Mom find a brand new nom for me to try for my birthday this year! I wonder what it could be? 🎂🤔😋🐢🦕
