Sarah - They certainly slim down but generally get taller during their toddler years, as you know Matthew has always been a heavy weight but he`s actually lost weight and is down to 13kg now (from 14kg) and has been for months but he`s got so tall, he`s now 94cms (22.5 months).

I have been told two stories on doubling height = adult height, one nurse said 2 years, the other 2.5 years, either way Matthew is going to be a lot taller then me (168 cms) and looks like he`s going to be taller then DH (189 cms or 6foot 3).

As long as he`s eating a good healthy diet which I`m sure he is.
