GUI Label Overwriting the One Before it

When I run this code only the last label is showing up on my panel. How do I show all the labels and not overwrite the one before it?

public HealthProfileGUI(String healthP) throws HeadlessException 
    {
        super(healthP);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
        //set a default window size
        this.setSize(500, 500);
        // start the window visible
        this.setVisible(true);
        // default close operations
        this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

        //set up the window controls
        JLabel nameLabel = new JLabel("Enter Name: ");
        this.getContentPane().add(nameLabel);

        JLabel ageLabel = new JLabel("Enter Age: ");
        this.getContentPane().add(nameLabel, ageLabel);

        JLabel weightLabel = new JLabel("Enter Weight: ");
        this.getContentPane().add(weightLabel);
        JLabel heightFeetLabel = new JLabel("Enter Height in Feet: ");
        this.getContentPane().add(heightFeetLabel);
        JLabel heightInchesLabel = new JLabel("Enter Height in Inches: ");
        this.getContentPane().add(heightInchesLabel);

    }

Hi, Lowell. I would like to help, but I am not fluent enough in Java and its APIs to know what is happening. I hope you find the answer to your problem!
