[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At what age did you realize your son was going to be super tall (6’3” or taller)?

We obviously have no idea yet but we have a 5 year old who is head and shoulders taller than his peers. He is currently 55 pounds and 50” tall.

Genetically - mom is in the 90th percentile for women (5’8”) but dad is probably average height (5’10”).

When did you know your son was going to be super tall or were you just surprised at the end? [/quote]

Same parental stats here (5'10M, 5'8.5"F). DS was tall all through elementary school (not freakishly so, but he was one of the youngest in the class and consistently one of the tallest). By 6th/7th grade he was 99th percentile and convinced he would be at least 6'3"... and then he stopped growing in 8th grade. He's currently 16 and not quite 6 feet.

I remember in 5th grade my 2 two best friends and I (girls) were all the same height and considered tall. One is now 5'2" and one is 5'11. I don't think you can know for sure until you get through puberty.[/quote]
