Anybody have a 5/6yr old?? question about height..

[proudmommy690]

How tall are they? Hailee will be 6 in October. I just measured her, she's only 3ft 5"!! That just seems so short! I know Emilee is really short for her age (3 next month and only 35"). And Piper is short too..only 24 1/4"...i guess my kids will get my shortness.

Korben will be 6 in November. He had his Kindergarten physical 2 weeks ago. He is 47 1/2 in. tall & weighs 49 1/2 lbs. He's a tall skinny kid. He's always been in the 90-95th percentile for height & 60-70th for weight.

Hailee is super skinny..Im hoping when I get her seen by the dr they can figure out why she wont gain weight.

 6 in November. Gracie has always been on the short side, but she seems to be comparable in height to other kids her age this summer.

If she is eating good & healthy in all other aspects, I really wouldn't worry too much. She may just be short & petite :) Genetics play a huge role. My older DD will be 7 in November. She has always been in the 95th percentile for height & weight. She's really tall & a bit chubby. She takes after my MIL's family. The doctor told me to watch her snacks....my DD snacks on fruits & veggies lol.

My DD hit 30 lbs a month or two before her 2nd bday. My mom made a big deal out of it. My mom weighed 30 lbs. when she started K, I was about 35. We've both always been short & fairly skinny.

Dd turns 6 on a few months. She is somewhere around 45 in. She ways 37 pounds. She is growing, just slowly. She eats a well balanced diet, gets plenty of exercise, and the doctor says she is growing how she should.

well that makes me feel a little better. i know her old dr ran tests for hyperthyroidism which was negative. im sure when her new dr sees her he might try to help more. pediasure helps her gain weight but its SOOOOO expensive!! and i'd be giving it to both girls...1 pk would last a day and a half maybe.
