i'm now the shortest!


10/26/09  JohnDavid, age 12, at 5'3" is now taller than I am!!!! He's just a hair taller, and that's LITERALLY!!! About 1/16th of an inch, no matter how tall I tried to stand.
11/5/09  We measured again 10 days later, and he was a full half inch taller.
1/04/10  He is now an inch and a quarter taller than I am!!!
1/23/10  He is now 1 inch and 5/8th's taller!!! 
2/01/10  Now up to 2 inches! That's 2 inches in 14 weeks!
3/12/10  2½ inches taller than I am.  
3/30/10  3 inches taller.  He's 5'6" now!  Now that's tall for a 12yo twin!
5/09/10  almost 13, another half an inch.  5'6½"  
8/10/10  up to 5'7" 
8/31/11  14 years old, 5'10"
2/29/12 14½ years old, 5'11"
7/03/12 15 years old, 5'11½"

We use a right triangle like this one
to butt up against the wall. So these
measurements are pretty accurate.
