The Height of Cool: Growth charts that can move with you

When we were growing up the pantry door in the kitchen was full of biro lines and felt tip marks charting our height. My mums kitchen now still has a wall like this and when my brother's friends get drunk at parties they add themselves which is pretty funny.

As young families, we are all renting so it seems a shame to miss out on this tradition. Knowing we'll more than likely move a few times with the current nightmare of getting a mortgage I found some great alternatives that can move with us. I've specifically not chosen any child like designs so they'll last 'til the boys are taller than us! Now that's a weird thought.
