When did you know your son was going to be super tall?

Don’t listen to this person. I’m also 5’8’’ and husband is same height as yours - and our son is 6’4’’. Why does everyone think sons can’t get their height from their Mom?? So many people ask why my son is so tall - um, because I’m very tall for a woman? So he got his tall genes from me. It’s not that hard to figure out.

He has always been off the charts and doubled in size (weight) from birth to 4 months. Size of a 3 year old at age 1, and just goes on from there.

We always figured he’d be quite tall but docs were reluctant to give an ending range until his 12 year checkup.

Did they check him for genetic disorders?

5’8” is tall if you’re Asian. It’s not tall if you’re Northern European. There’s more to it than just parent’s height.
