I have two older ones and IMO if they stay around that height until 5 years old, they'll stay tall.

My 99th%er is still the tallest (and youngest) kid in her class at 10. I fear she will be taller than me (5’9”.)

My kids are 99% for height, but not for weight.

My 25-month-old was a little over 37" when she was measured on her second birthday, and my 13-month-old is 33."

We will have to see if their growth continues at this rate, but I'm guessing it will. Their dad is 6' 5," I am 5' 9," and every one of their aunts and uncles are over 6 feet tall. I'm the short one in the family.

We have height on both sides (6’4”+ men and my aunt is almost 6 ft). I’m guessing DD hits 5’9 or 10 and DS clears 6’ 2”


How big was your DS at 1? I am OP. I can’t believe how big my DS is. His growth seems exponentially faster than his sisters.

My kids quickly dropped from 99th to around 40th in height and weight, but then took hold of the 99th in standardized testing. Works for me!

My DS has always been in the 97-99% percentiles for height and weight. He’s now 8 and has dropped to the high 80s, but is still among the taller kids in his class (although it’s hard to gauge because the kids all hit growth spurts at slightly different times). DH and I are average height but both of us have brothers who are between 6’ - 6’3”.

My daughter stayed at 99th percentile for a while and then started dropping. At age 4, she’s about 65th percentile.

Mine is down to about 85th%. He’s still massive though.

My son was at 99 and then actually off the chart at some point as a baby and toddler. I think he’s at about 75% now as a preteen. The growth charts are all wonky at puberty because kids grow at different speeds.

DS is 8 and has been consistently either 99% or just off the charts since he was about a month old. I'm 5'4 and DH is 5'10 and we don't have any super tall family members in our families (that we know of at least) so I have no idea where he gets it from.

Did your kids remain in the 99th percentile or did they drop off over time? My DS is 99th percentile weight (29lbs) and 99th percentile height (33”) at one years old. He is by far the biggest 1 year old I have ever seen. I just wonder if this will stay the course or he will slowly drop off the highest percentile. DH is 5’10” and I am 5’7” but we have tall family members.
