Marking milestones during the first year is not only about celebrating big changes and developments. There are times when parents can mark the physical growth of their child, too! This is where growth charts can come in handy.

Yes, door jambs can be fun, but I love the growth charts from Red Envelope. Each style is made from cotton and beautifully designed, almost so much so that I hate to think of marking them! But use them I will, especially with the adorable designs of their Enchanted Growth Chart (pictured above), with either flowers or trees. Personalize the chart with the child’s name and birthdate, and you are all set! Want more of a personalized touch? Check out the Photo Growth Chart, in which you can add three pictures of your precious little one.

No matter which you choose, all of Red Envelope’s growth charts come with string for hanging and two fabric markers with which to mark all your little one’s unbelievable growth. Before you know it, your tiny baby will be taller than you, but at least you will have proof that was not always the case. - Sara I.
