[quote=Anonymous]My son turned 10 in April and has gained 13 or so pounds since his well check then. He's grown 1.5 inches as well, but is definitely getting pudgy in his belly and his face and legs are much fuller. We don't discuss weight nor weigh him. He's always been tall (95th percentile) but his weight has gone from very slim (told by doctors to make him gain weight) to around the 80th percentile, though combined with his height, the doctors have never been worried. He's now 60" and about 93 lbs. He's definitely eating more but has remained quite active. Based on his growth curve, he should be about 6'1" like his father (my husband's side makes big tall boys). I know some kid gain weight before a growth spurt but I wasn't sure how long this phase lasts- a couple of years or more like a couple of weeks?[/quote]
