Still reading your replies- thank you!

For those who had kids who shot up in a matter of months, were there any signs that explosive growth was about to happen?  Did your kids get growing pains or stretch marks?

My husband is 6’1” but said he doesn’t remember going through any major growth spurts- more slow and steady.  I assume DS will also be slow and steady. [/quote]

My 14yo (almost 15) is 6'1" and he's had ongoing growing pains primarily in his legs but elsewhere too over the last year.  I'm not sure exactly how fast he's shot up but the pants I bought him in the fall because his old pants were too short are now too short as well.  I hoping he's close to stopping.

Also, he's been a kid who barely eats but over the last year he pretty much seems to eat non-stop and is constantly raiding the pantry.  His "high" BMI was a bit over 20th percentile when he was 12 and it started dropping again when he hit his growth spurt.
