My boy has changed

When one's child turns 16, one has the liberty of waxing nostalgic for a few minutes, right? He has changed so much the past two years.

And speaking of change, this kid keeps shooting up right before our eyes. About a month ago, we measured him and he has now overtaken Scott by an inch and is nearing 6'2". Scott wasn't too happy about this as he even got out a level when we measured, just to make sure. Here are the pencil marks on the wall and his official growth chart in our playroom.
