I made a growth chart (finally!) for our family. It has been in my head for well over a year, and I finally settled on an idea I liked, and purchased the few items I would need. I liked it so much, that I also made one for a friend's baby shower and one for my sister for Christmas! It looks great in the kids' room, and it's fun comparing their heights at various ages...I have a strong suspicion our little man isn't going to be the "little one" in the family forever. :)

| Painting the wood decals. It took a long time, but it was really simple. I also painted the wooden letters for the title. |

| A sun, flower and dragonfly. |
 |
| I traced the numbers with a stencil, and I drew all of the tick lines onto a piece of MDF board, which we spray painted white ahead of time (I know, these are all in random order..that's not the point! :)) I applied all of the wooden letters and decals with wood glue, and viola! |
 |
| We ended up going back and cutting off a chunk of the top of this one, because let's be honest, our kids aren't going to be 6'7"! I think it turned out great, and I'm really proud of this project! |
