At our house we scribble on the door-frame in black marker. These parents have got some waaaay better ideas.

It’s true. Babies grow up at the speed of light.

Before you know it, that pea-sized munchkin you were handed in the hospital is suddenly a walking, talking, mini-person.

We love these gorgeous, creative ideas from a collection of mummy bloggers for chronicling baby’s development from month to month. Whether you’re a sewer or a craftsman, there are ways to create a unique growth chart for any ability. Running out of ideas? Just place a sweet stuffed animal beside your bundle of joy and watch them compete in the size stakes.

All you need to do now is g rab your camera and start snapping!
