CSS for h2 media query doesn't seem to be working...is my code right here? Thanks,

After hitting "Recheck Work", it keeps saying "Bummer!....did you change the h2 font-size to 1.75em for devices larger than 660px?

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: Changa One, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
      max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

.contact-info {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 0.9em;
}

.contact-info a {
  display: block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 20px 20px;
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;
  margin: 0 0 10px;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  h1 {
    font-size: 2.5em;

  }

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {
  h2 {
    font-size: 1.75em;
}
}

Looks like you have messed up your curly braces here a little bit. You don't have even amounts in your media queries. For every { there should be a } to match it. 

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  h1 {
    font-size: 2.5em;

  }

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {
  h2 {
    font-size: 1.75em;
}
}

Notice how there are 4 { but only 3 }. Simple fix just add a } after your first query to close the entire block. This is easier to see if you format them correctly.

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  h1 {
    font-size: 2.5em;
  } /*<--- This one closes your h1 selector */
} /*<--- This one closes your media query */

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {
  h2 {
    font-size: 1.75em;
  } /*<--- This one closes your h2 selector */
} /*<--- This one closes your media query */

Add the closing bracket to your first media query and should be good to go

Thank you Chad and Dylan, I did need to add the closing bracket.
