Sometimes I feel like I was born unto Giants. My family is extraordinarily tall. What about you?
When i was a child, my parents would stand me against the door jamb, and measure me from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head and then make a mark on the jamb.  They would repeat it every year.  I grew to about 6 feet tall.
That's fairly tall! Sounds like you had fairly good nutrition, a good childhood, decent posture and a genetic head start, all of which can influence height. What bout the rest of your family?
All midgets.  When i go to the doctor, they use a stadiometer to see how tall i am.  They have me stand on a scale and the stadiometer has a swing arm on it that they put on top of my head.
