My youngest is growing at a faster pace than my first did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2008052 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 15:17:34 +0000 Torchwood 2008052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not my kids, but my little sister passed me by no later than age 13 (I was 27 by then), and my brother just passed me at 12. But their mom is 6' and our dad is 6'2" whereas I got my height from my 5'4" mom. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007907 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 12:48:29 +0000 Lindsay05 2007907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I am pretty much transferring clothes from one dresser to the other now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007892 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 12:29:17 +0000 MrsSCB 2007892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's funny you ask this because my younger sister is taller than me, but now that I think of it, I have no idea when she even surpassed me! At this point it feels like she's always been taller :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007886 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 12:25:26 +0000 Mamasig 2007886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - but maybe when he's older. Ds2 is bigger than DS1 was at the same age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007881 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 12:20:52 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2007881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes. My 13-month old is in 18-24 months/2T and my 32-month old is barely in 3T. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007799 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 11:10:48 +0000 erinpye 2007799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I love being tall, however, I'm actually taller than many men, and 5'9.5" is the average height for men in the US. Many fudge it--you'd be surprised how many "5'11" " guys I stand taller than... :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007714 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 09:41:41 +0000 twodoghouse 2007714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My younger has overtaken his big sister. They are twins so it doesn't count for much, except that he started out a lb smaller and was smaller up until 4 months. Then he starting growing like crazy and now he's two lbs bigger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007670 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 09:01:27 +0000 PinkElephant 2007670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Getting there - my 30 month old daughter is much taller than her 8 month old sister but bit all that much heavier - only about 6-7 lbs. I think they'll be pretty similar in size by the time they're 2 and 4. DD#2 is just a much closer to average sized kid while DD#1 is barely on the growth charts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007653 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 08:40:29 +0000 erwoo 2007653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My youngest is def. taller at his age (2.75 years) than his big brother. He started wearing 3Ts just a month or two after he turned 2. Some 2Ts he just completely skipped over. He's still half a head shorter but he is also 3 years younger. I think he'll surpass his big brother who is skinny and always average for everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007645 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 08:26:03 +0000 Andrea 2007645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but they are 2.5 years apart so I don't think the catch up will happen for awhile yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007619 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 06:43:31 +0000 lamariniere 2007619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. They are three years apart and LO1 (boy) is around the 90th percentile while LO2 (girl) is around the 10th. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007616 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 06:31:13 +0000 regberadaisy 2007616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: I actually think 5'10" is a great height for a female! Tall but not too tall that you're taller than the majority of males. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007614 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 06:29:11 +0000 Dandelion 2007614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. 6.5 years between them. M will catch up to D when they're adults lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007562 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 01:13:54 +0000 erinpye 2007562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: haha really‽ That's funny! I'm an Amazon woman! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007555 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 00:57:12 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2007555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: I've always pictured you to be incredibly petite and about 5'2". Will need to recalibrate my mental picture! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007552 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 00:52:41 +0000 erinpye 2007552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet since the youngest is only 10.5 months old. My little sister is 21 months younger than I, and was small, while I was tall, until I was 8 or 9. Then we were the same height for a while, and then she passed me up. She's now 6' and I'm the short one at 5'10". :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007548 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 00:46:56 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2007548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so... N is still about a head taller than J. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007547 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 00:46:21 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2007547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girls are currently about an inch and a half apart. We thought #2 would have surpassed #1 by now, but #1 is determined to stay ahead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-younger-kid-catching-up-to-your-older-kid-in-size#post-2007542 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 00:38:49 +0000 mrbee 2007542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughter is 22 months younger than her brother, but is catching up to him! She's at the 75th percentile for height, while he's at the 25th. She may catch up to him within the next year or two! In his mind though, she'll always be his little sister. :)</p> <p>Is your younger kid catching up to your older kid in size? </p>
