Brent's stats -

63 lbs
52 inches
Blood pressure 98/45
75% for height
75% for weight
BMI 16% (normal range is 15 -24)

The Dr said that he will end up being around 6'1" or 6'2".

I told him I actually thought Brent was short and he said NOPE I've been doing this a long time, I know the trending and that is what he is right on target to be.

Wow! What a big boy!!

I think Brent and Ryan weigh the same.

It sounds like he's doing great. Brendan will have his 8 year appt some time next month. I measured him recently though and he's a little under 55" but well over 80 lbs. I want to talk to his doctor before the appt about talking to him about good nutrition and being healthy. Even though he's so tall, he's getting chunky. I've been trying to have healthy food at home but he eats junk when he's not with me and he just loves to eat and eat and eat.

Hey Susan!!!

Took Micah for her 8 yr check up just when school started and I won't even mention her weight. But she is about 54 inches tall. So needless to say she is usually about one of the talles kids in her class. And what's worse is that she comes up to my nose. (but I'm only 5'2"..LOL) She is always so active but she's been a thick since birth and I'm pretty sure she going to always be a bit "healthier" than the other kids, but she eats healthy and is always on the go. Now of course little sis is complete opposite and on the bottom of the growth chart... go figure!
