Did your big baby slow down in growth and level out?

Op here - no he isn’t. He was born at 38 weeks and was 8lbs10oz.

My younger DS was that exact weight at birth, and was also 29 lbs at 1 (weird). He was 40 lbs at two, and gained the nickname “Tank” among our friends. But he stayed at the 40 lb mark until he was 6 or 7, at which point he was very thin. He’s now 12 at 5’5 and 90 lbs.

Op here - I will say we have 2 girls before this and oldest dd was 27 pounds at 1 (now 50 pounds and in the 60th percentile for height) and younger dd was 25 pounds at 1 (now 42 pounds and in the 75th percentile for height.

Oldest DD has been loosing in percentiles. She was 22 inches at birth and thin (7 lbs 5oz). She stayed around 90/99% until maybe 2 (weight always 70/60%) and then she started going down. Now at 7 she is 60% in height and 30/40% in weight. She is very similar to DH in body and he is 6’3” and thin, but grew later than his peers. I am short 5’3” ... so who knows...
My other two kids were heavier than the first and tall, but never 99%... so far they are around 80/90% in both height and weight (they are 5 and almost 2).

They may take after DH and end up tall or after me and end up short... or something in between...

Curious (genuinely) how this is relevant?
