Very long boy

Did you get him measured through plunket?

Have a look in the plunket book at the measurements page, as he sounds perfect.  A tall handsome young man.  Are you tall or his dad tall?  Don't panic too much.

p.s their growth slows down over the second year too.. they usually do heaps of growing in the first year and then might only grow a few more cm's for a while and put on one kilo or so.

He'll be fine, Andrew is one tall boy 1m and he's not quite 3 yet and 15kgs. We aren't worries about Andrew as his dad is 6f 4 and i'm 5f 8 both above the norm for heights.

Maya's always been tall and lean too, 10.5kg sounds fine for Joshua coming up one. Maya was only 8kg on her first birthday, and was 80-something (maybe 82?)cm, would have to look it up to be certain.

LOL Nikki!
I just looked up his height and weight and WOWZER!! That's very tall! But I wouldn't be worried about it, his weight is above average so there's some consistency there (and IMO Plunket charts are a bit "weighty" by that age anyway). I think you'll find his growth rate will decrease considerably in the next year. Just watch his eating at the moment because it certainly won't hurt him to gain some more weight if he's quite hungry (I'm not advocating fattening him up for the sake of it though).

He's due for a Plunket check about now anyway so the height and weight can be double-checked for you if you want. It will be interesting to hear what the Plunket nurse says actually. Don't warn her! Just listen to her say Oh.My.Goodness! like I did

PS If he's started crawling etc that will contribute to his lean-ness. And what's the rest of the family like in terms of basketball players?

I think the hormone thing is just if they don't stop growing at all, in which case just keep watching whether his measurements keep rocketting or if they follow the growth chart "curve".
