      Ask your child to stand against the paneling of a doorway. Make sure the child is standing straight with heels against the doorway paneling. The child's chin should be pointed straight ahead. If your child cannot stand upright, then a partner can hold the child upright against the paneling by holding the child under the arms.

      Make a pencil mark on the paneling at the spot where the top of his or head rests against the doorway.

      Make a new mark every month -- especially during ages when a child is growing quickly.
