Growth spurt
We usually measure Emma against her bedroom door growth chart once every three months. We measured her in mid-June and she was 37". She had grown an inch over the last three months. Pretty decent.

This past weekend one of the rides required that the kids be 38" or above. I started to explain to her apologetically that she wasn't tall enough for the ride. The ride dude looked at her and said, "I think she looks tall enough." So I told her to walk over to the measuring board and stand. It showed her at 38 1/2" tall. Wow. OK, go ahead and ride.

When we got home I took her upstairs and measured her against her door to see if that was right. Darned if it wasn't. She grew an inch in a half in 6-7 weeks.

No wonder she's been soaking up milk like a sponge.
