Head Size Trends

Avery was playing with a measuring tape a couple months ago, and decided at one point that she needed to measure my head. Since then we've been tracking our head sizes at irregular intervals, where Avery measures mine, I measure hers, and she measures her mothers. Results are shown in the atttached graph - with me in blue, Avery in pink, and Jasmine in green.



Apparently, if one assumes Avery's measurement technique to be consistent and reproducible,* my head size is extremely variable, but at least it doesn't appear to be consistently growing or shrinking over time. But perhaps I should be concerned about the variation. I think I need to bring the graph in next time I see a doctor.

Jasmine's head appears more steady than mine. But she probably could've told you that. Avery's head remains the smallest, though I suspect this won't last.

Today, Avery also launched a data collection program which measured the size of our bottoms. Jasmine, however, is adamant that results of this study are not to be published on this or any other blog.

* Actual gauge studies are yet to be completed.

In other news.... Lastnight I was watching the TV guide channel scroll through program listings. "Super Tuesday Election Night Coverage" scrolled up, immediately followed by something called "The Biggest Loser". That cracked me up.

I'd be curious to know how one measures bottoms.
