Images are inline elements. When you increase the text-size the line-
box that contains the images grows.
A solution:
#navigation img {display:block;}

The height of your header is locked (height:199px;}
and the box for your navigation is absolute positioned.
A solution:
1. remove the height declaration for your #header
2. float your navigation box
3. make sure the #header contains the floated block by either
inserting a clearing element or using one the other techniques for
containing floats.
You'll have to make the background image for #header taller to allow
for the whole thing to grow.
ps - don't ask me to read the text of your navigation, it is sooo small.
