[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Son is now 19, no spurt for him either, just slow and steady [/quote]

I have another steady grower, will be interesting to see what happens.

My kids (one boy, one girl) were always tall and grew 3" or so per year. My daughter stopped at 14 (5'8"), never had a big growth spurt. From 13-14, my son grew over 4", but still didn't seem like a big spurt compared to an average year. He is between 6' and 6'1" now at 14.5y, and I guess this is a slower year, he hasn't grown much since turning 14, so maybe that was a spurt. I would be very surprised if he stopped growing at this point, but maybe he'll get 2" more over the next few years. My siblings and I all grew late (and are tall), so it's been interesting to watch.

I'd say between 13 and 14 is when most of my son's other pubertal changes happened. Hair and the like. His voice is deeper, but never had a cracking thing. He probably shaves weekly since about 14. He still looks noticeably young though. I don't think he could pass for any older than 15 even though he's a big guy. [/quote]
