How long/tall is everyones bub cos Im being made to feel like DS is a freak! LOL

Last check, 4 weeks ago he was 77.5cm tall.

Pandora just to make you feel better, my second son Lewis was 78.1cms tall at 12 months. And neither myself or DH are tall people.

Lewis is still a big boy and people often comment and ask if I have twins as he is nearly the same height as Oscar (my eldest) Lewis is acutally 1kg heavier.

Jack on the other hand is a little flea of a thing like his eldest brother so won't be winning any medals in the height dept.

Funny how children can be so different when raised the same, just their genetic makeup I suppose.

I worry for Lewis, he is only 3 yet looks well over 4 and I often have to remind myself and others that he is acutally only 3.

I don't know - three months ago he was 75cm, and he's much taller now. He isn't due for his MCHN appointment for two weeks, so we'll see then. He was in the 85th percentile last time, and I suspect he is still there or higher. We went to get some more shoes for him, just soft little walking shoes, and they don't have them in his size! His feet are size 5/6 already!! I think he's going to be, um, tall. I do tend to have tall kids, though. My eldest daughter is six foot one.

Tom is a full on toddler now - rarely crawls anywhere and has started running and climbing. Oh my goodness he is a handful. I can honestly say none of my other kids have been this much hard work. He's lots of fun, though. He's started playing silly games, which is so much fun. He has also started escaping outside, which is a bit scary... And he takes off at the shops. I'm going to have to get one of those monkey backpacks with the strap.

How is everyone's sleeping going? I think we are finally getting somewhere. I've started alternating at night with offering Tom the boob when he wakes up, and just giving him a cuddle and laying him down, and we're beginning to get four to five hour stretches out of him, which is a relief. Dh and I were getting so run down with the sleeplessness.

Oops, it's all gone quiet... better go and see what Major Tom is up to.

Im about 6'1" and DH is not much shorter, so not that out there to have a bub on the 95th% for height but DS isnt. I know there all different, but its still hard not to compare them.

Ooh running and climbing??
Oscar pulls up and cruises, but not walking on his own so far.

Jack doesn't look like walking anytime soon. He is also pulling himself up and is finally cruising. Will let go and stand for a few seconds, is so proud of himself when he does that. Looks at me for acknowledgement of how clever he is, then starts laughing and falls down.

Jack is really developing his sense of humour, stubborn, but so cute he laughs at himself all the time. Don't know what the joke is but he finds himself hilarous.
