Last weekend, my father-in-law asked me how old I am turning. I reponded 30. Immediately, Makayla said "You're going to start shrinking!" I didn't have a problem with turning 30 until then.
(It's said that people start shrinking in height at age 30. Real or Myth? I don't know. You tell me.)

what the heck girl!
I love your blog.
love, cindy
Thanks! It's good to hear that someone still reads my blog.
The height that you achieve depends on several factors: 1) The genes you inherit from your parents; 2) The age you enter puberty (when you start to develop sexually); 3) the age you have your first period (if you�re a girl); and 3) your general health. If you have a chronic disease, for example, this will affect your height. Most young women achieve their full height within 12 to 18 months after their first period. (around 16 years old) Most young men tend to stop growing at the end of puberty when they begin to shave regularly. (around 18 years old)
