The Tall Boy

Nigel is experiencing a growth spurt. And it is not because of his Heely shoes.

For a boy who doesn't really eat very much, I am not exactly sure where the extra building material is coming from. But it is definitely stretching his frame out into a lanky figure. He has a head (and shoulders) start over his sisters and seems happy to be taking advantage of that by towering over them for the moment - until it is time for them to play catch-up.

His measurements show an average of around 2 cm growth a month - which means he might be as tall as me within a year if it keeps up. Surprisingly, he isn't very tall in his class, meaning the kids of this current generation are all quite tall in general.

Could be all the Macs, pizza and Japanese food.
