9 and 1/2 years!

Patrick is 9 and 1/2 today!
We always measure the kids twice a year, and Patrick has always been in the top 2% height for his age (above the 97th percentile). He grew 4 centimetres in 6 months and 8 centimetres in the past year and is now 146 centimetres!!! If he keeps growing at this rate, he'll be taller than me by the time he's 12 and 1/2!!!
*I had to use this photo again as it is the most recent one I have!!!

Hi Kylie, Isaac is likely to be 6ft 7or so inches when he is finished growing-or so the doctor told us when he hurt his foot last year. And as he has a size 5 shoe now he will likely have a 15 or 16 foot as an adult! A scary thought as he turns 8 next month and is head and shoulders taller than peers at school. Poor Jasper should only be 6ft 4 inches. I guess we both have tall boys.

WOW Susanne - how tall are you and Isht? I have a cousin with kids that are going to be very tall and who have huge feet too!

Hi Kylie
I am 5ft 11 and Isht is 6ft. I do have a lot of very tall cousins and uncles and my brother is 6ft 3inches! Jasper is in size 3 shoes now so will have big feet too. Think of the food bills when they are teenagers with big appetites! One of my cousins is 6ft 7 so we can see how tall that really is!

Wow Susanne - I'm only 5ft6" (and a half if I stand up straight!!) My brother is 6ft4" tall and that seems tall!! Better to be tall than short - especially for the boys! Talk to you on facebook sometime soon!
