At 7 yrs my little boy is 53" tall or 4'5" tall a (95th percentile) and 71 lbs (90-95th percentile). The doctor said that he is off the scales for his height and that he would like to see him at a little lower weight. I thought the weight comment was a little strange. He doesn't have any fat on him at all. No belly rolls or any inches to pinch. In fact I think he has always been in the 90's percentile range for both height and weight.
I don't know if all parents go through this or not but when you leave the doctor do you ever go "Huh, wonder where that came from?" I love his doctor and he's been seeing him since he was a baby, and once in a blue moon we have one of those visits.
When Ethan was a little less than a year old one of the doctors in the office (not his, a walk in Dr) wanted to send him for x-rays of his skull to check the closure of his soft spot. I remember he even talked to us about a helmet for him to wear. It was a little larger than usual and it worried him, go figure his head was a little larger than usual. It took him every bit of 2 years to grow into the poor thing, before then he would fall, trip, stumble all over the place. But since he wasn't our regular doctor he figured that if we waited a few months and brought him back for a check up with his doctor then we would see the progress. That was a big "Huh" visit!
