[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For what it's worth, he is predicted to be 5'3.
DH is 6'3
Other DS is on track to be 6'2

Mom's Brother 1 6', Brother 2 6', Grandmother 5'4 Grandfather was 5'8
Dad's brother is 6'2, Grandmother was 5'10, Grandfather was 5'10

I'm just curious if anyone has a story like this where DS was on track to be a solid 5" under the shortest person in the family, and a good foot under most of the male relatives. Do we need to look into further testing? [/quote]

OP, this is almost exactly my family profile. I had to double check whether I wrote it. My husband's dad is taller but his mom is smaller so it averages out. I, too, have one tall son and one tiny son. Small one has always been small which isn't the profile for a kid with health issues so doctors have dismissed all concerns. I am so surprised by how small he is... most of the time I don't worry. Just once in a while I get this feeling like, what if there is something wrong and we have missed it?[/quote]

That is interesting. How old is your tiny son and your tall one?
I wonder if it is constitutional growth delay. I am thinking my son is going to have this because it was so common on my side of the family and he seems to favor my side. I know people are saying genetics are crazy but if he were short, he would probably be in the 5'8 range, not a lot smaller than that. FWIW, my brothers were in the bottom 5-10% their whole life and are 6'+ now. [/quote]
