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.

  1. If this keeps up, he will soon be "sky high" and we will say, "JohnDavid is a man who has the ability to see the silver lining in the clouds."

  3. Not that tall, really.
    Travis' brother is 6'2" or 6'3", and his Dad is over 6 foot, also.

    But because of being born severely club-footed, and needing surgeries (that inhibited the growth of his lower leg), Travis is only 5'9".
    So he would have been taller; we just don't know how much. =)
