Every few months I measure the girls and mark their heights on the door jam to the spare bedroom. Shelby is marked on one side and Shaylene is marked on the other side.

Height comparison between Shaylene and Shelby

Shaylene’s Growth Chart in 2004.

Sheylene.

Shaylene is 56months and 27 days older than Shelby.

October 8th less 57Months is July 8th 2004 less 3 days is July 5th 2004.

Shaylene was exactly the same age as Shelby on July 5th, 2004. On May 12, 2004 Shaylene was 49&1/2 inches tall. On August 24th, 2004 Shaylene was 50 inches tall.

So on July 5th, 2004 Shaylene would have been about 49 & 3/4 inches tall.

therefore

Shelby is EXACTLY the same height as Shaylene at the same ages!!!!!!!
