    Thanks all. I do also worry about his height - I am nearly 6', so expected my child to be tall - but he has such a dominant personality he doesn't get picked on at all at Nursery; that may change at school though.

    I'm going to go with him being fine and healthy and enjoy the fact I can still carry him around with ease.

    DS1 is about 100cms and 13.9kg at 4yr 2m. I'm not concerned at all.

    Ryn, he's got plenty of time to hit the 6ft mark. I have seen some of the scrawniest boys turn into the biggest men after they hit their pubescent growth spurt. Our neighbours son was this skinny little mite - in his last year of primary school he hadn't even reached his mother's shoulders in height, and he went off to boarding school and the next time I saw him nearly 6 months later he'd grown 6 inches and gained about 10kg.

    I wouldn't worry about him being small now, my DH was 75kg and about 170cm when he left school (and he joined the navy), then when we met, almost 2 yrs after, he was 6 foot 2 and 100kg (not the fat kind of 100 kgs either)!!
