He's been solidly in the middle of the growth curves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-your-lo-be-taller-than-you#post-328457 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 13:07:34 +0000 sarac 328457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, my daughter seems to have gotten my husband's long and skinny frame. She's going to love that! Although it'd be fun if she were tall like him, but curvy like me like some kind of amazon woman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-your-lo-be-taller-than-you#post-328041 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 20:33:30 +0000 pinkcupcake 328041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'6" and L is in the 85-90th percentile...accdg to the chart she will be my height when she is 13? Crazy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-your-lo-be-taller-than-you#post-328013 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 19:47:10 +0000 Andrea 328013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 5'8" and DH is 6'4" so our girls will probably be tall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-your-lo-be-taller-than-you#post-327996 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 19:28:04 +0000 chopsuey 327996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't read those charts for the life of me. HAHA.<br /> LO's always been in the 90-95%.. I'm guessing she'll be taller than me or my height in middle school?<br /> I'm 5'6". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-your-lo-be-taller-than-you#post-327755 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 15:08:33 +0000 Rock n Roll 327755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think my kids will be taller than me ever. I'm 5'11" and their dad is 5'6". They are girls and were in the 5oth percentile last time they had doctor's appointments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-your-lo-be-taller-than-you#post-327668 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:21:03 +0000 autumnlove 327668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so! I think she has DH's height genes...his mom is almost 5'10" which is pretty tall for an Asian woman! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-your-lo-be-taller-than-you#post-327612 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 13:59:53 +0000 heffalump 327612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are both average height. My LO is in the 95th percentile in height. I feel like she's going to end up slowing down.... I don't understand how she got so tall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-your-lo-be-taller-than-you#post-327570 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 13:47:49 +0000 blackbird 327570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh that's a cool chart! My kid may not end up taller than me. Maybe she will. DH isn't very tall, though. I'm almost 6 feet tall, so we'll see! I was as tall as my mom pretty early on (she's only 5'6") </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-your-lo-be-taller-than-you#post-327519 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 13:14:28 +0000 Honeybee 327519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sigh, DD will be taller than me by about 12/13; DS will be taller than be by 11/12. DD has been tracking about 80th percentile for height; DS has been in the 95th percentile. I'm not very tall, so they'll be overtaking me pretty early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-your-lo-be-taller-than-you#post-327510 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 13:10:42 +0000 sunny 327510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is in the 90th percentile for height because DH is tall. I was below the 5th for my entire childhood!</p> <p>If LO continues in the 90th percentile, she'll be taller than me when she is 10 or 11, which is when most of my friend's kids started becoming taller than me!</p> <p>Girls: <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set1clinical/cj41l022.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set1clinical/cj41l022.pdf</a></p> <p>Boys:<br /> <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set2clinical/cj41l071.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set2clinical/cj41l071.pdf</a> </p>
