I finally finished the growth chart last night for Monkey Man’s first birthday…..3 weeks ago……

I am very happy with how it turned out. My FIL brought down the stain and finish for me, and I picked through a pile of  pine boards until I found the one I liked. Add a Wood Paint Marker and we were all set. I used one of my 1″ rulers to mark off the lines, so there is a line of paint coating one thin edge but it was worth it! I printed off the numbers and did the while DIY carbon copy thing, rub the pencil on the back of the paper then trace over the front.

The little monkey even helped Mommy clean up afterwards. What a sweetie-pie!
