Getting to be a big boy! :o)

He is definitely growing quickly!

Not sure when he's found going to overtake her. He certainly was in a much higher size percentile, but he refused to be measured last time the health visitor came so I'm not sure where he's up to now.

Will he overtake her do you think? Sophia will start her final growth spurt probably when he's about 8-9 ... She might even stay ahead until he hits 14 or so. Or, Sophia could be like me and not grow much between 10 and 14 then add 6 inches in 2 years!

(My body seemed determined to cooperate with me continuing to look like a boy for as long as possible! :-) )

If they both follow the averages they have so far then yes. But people obviously don't just follow averages, so we'll have to wait and see.

How old is he now?

[andrewducker]

2½.
She's 5 in April, so he's now more than half her age.

Yeah, my sister was born when I was 2.5 so I was walking everywhere myself by then at the latest.
