we measured charlie and olive back in april and again last night. charlie grew one inch and olive grew 2 inches! we have small kids so I think measuring them a couple times a year is enough?
Do you keep a height chart? How often do you measure?

My husband does! He tries to measure her every month on the same date.
-
She got one for her 1st birthday and I've only measured her once so far (she's 18 months).
-
We measure DS every couple of months and mark it on the door in our upstairs hallway. It'll be interesting to add DS2's measurements alongside.
-
We mark on the wall beside each of their closets. Just planning to do every year at their birthday. Maybe we should think about doing half birthdays too....
-
I want to start doing this! I would do it on a wall but I'd be so sad if we moved and didn't get to take it with us.
-
We are going to once she turns 1!

We have a growth stick that one of my friends made us recently. We're planning on starting to use it on his first birthday.

I have a growth chart for DS that has birthday stickers and a few extra stickers. I started measuring him when he was 24" (at the bottom of the chart) and did a few times during his first year. Now we just do birthdays. I might do extra measurements if I notice a big growth spurt.

Yes, a paper one. It was a gift, but I probably would have bought or made one. I think it has adhesive on the back for putting it up, but we rent and I want to take it with us when we move, so I just hung it on the wall with pins instead. I'm not terribly systematic about taking measurements--I do it whenever I feel like it and/or whenever I think he's had a growth spurt!
