C was 100th percentile (born 10.5lbs) for her entire first year. Now she's 97th height and 77th in weight at 2. Her grow definitely slowed down. She gained 13lbs and 10" her first year and only 5lbs and 4" her second. Don't get me wrong, she is still way taller than most kids her age.

She's approaching her first birthday and she's enormous.

Now at 2 he is 37# and way off the charts. I think it is so hard to predict where they will end up. keepcalmcarrie on "If your baby was huge in the early days....." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-was-huge-in-the-early-days#post-1510337 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 20:05:44 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1510337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DS was 7 lb 4 oz and 21 inches at birth, but was 14 lbs at his 2 month checkup (can't remember length). I think he was 99th for both, and his head was off the charts from the beginning. He just had his 1 year appointment last week, and at 25.5 lbs and 31 inches is now 90th percentile for weight and 80th for height. Head is still off the charts. DH is 6'4," 250 though, so I think it's in his genes :) Mamasig on "If your baby was huge in the early days....." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-was-huge-in-the-early-days#post-1510162 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 19:27:34 +0000 Mamasig 1510162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 18 months and not yet. DS has always been 90%+ in height and weight. At his 18 month visit, he actually increased to >98% for weight and dropped to 75% for height. But, the doctor isn't totally sure his height was accurate since he moved so much. She said we may see him even out around 3? He definitely looks slimmer since he started walking but didn't drop percentile wise. sslm on "If your baby was huge in the early days....." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-was-huge-in-the-early-days#post-1509843 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:26:13 +0000 sslm 1509843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My LO was 8 lbs 11 oz at birth and gained very quickly, now though, at 11 months she's only 20 lbs, and has dropped down the charts. So she definitely evened out a bit. oliviaoblivia on "If your baby was huge in the early days....." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-was-huge-in-the-early-days#post-1509761 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:08:10 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1509761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ L was of the charts until six months. Then she dropped to 95%. Her height has stayed steady and her weight at 12 months was around 75%. According to my mom I was the same way and stayed tall and big until 7th grade when everyone caught up. lovehoneybee on "If your baby was huge in the early days....." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-was-huge-in-the-early-days#post-1509754 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:06:25 +0000 lovehoneybee 1509754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ E was in the mid-upper 90th percentiles at birth, and has more or less stayed on that curve (he's 19.5 months now).

My 4 month old DD is 14 pounds haha. DS was high on the charts but he evened out after about the 1 year mark. gingerbebe on "If your baby was huge in the early days....." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-was-huge-in-the-early-days#post-1509722 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:51:05 +0000 gingerbebe 1509722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ One of my best friends had a 10 pound baby who looked huge for her age until sometime after she turned 1? Then she just looked like every other toddler. cyndistar3 on "If your baby was huge in the early days....." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-was-huge-in-the-early-days#post-1509717 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:49:55 +0000 cyndistar3 1509717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Both of mine were big at birth and then evened out and became rather small. Lilly was 9.1 lbs at birth and is now 24lbs at 21 months.

He was born at nearly 9 lbs and his head was in the 96th percentile. Now at 4 months, he's about 35-45th percentile for height/weight. His head is still huge though (86th percentile)! I had GD though, so I'm sure that contributed to him being big in the beginning.

At two my oldest finally started slowing down, she is very tall though!

So following. sorrycharlie on "If your baby was huge in the early days....." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-was-huge-in-the-early-days#post-1509641 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:30:05 +0000 sorrycharlie 1509641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She is adorable!! My LO definitely evened out.

We just had our six week appt for DD2 yesterday and she is off the charts in height and weight! Despite being a fairly average sized baby at birth (8 lbs 2 oz and 21 in), she is now 13.2 lbs and 24 inches! At six weeks! That puts her well above the 99th percentile in both. She looks perfectly proportional, and DH comes from a family of giants, but I'm wondering if she's likely to stay on this above the 99th percentile track, or if babies generally even out a bit more over time. So mamas of high percentile babies, did they even out over time or have they always stayed taller/bigger than average?
