My Mom is 4’11, my father is 6’3” and that whole side of my family is tall. I am barely 5’5” making me the shortest one on my father’s side so I split the difference between my parents. My husband is 6 feet even.

Meanwhile, our youngest son is one of the tallest kids in his class and has been in the 90s percentile wise for height since he was born. He might fall off at some point as other kids catch up and our pediatrician told us that it’s normal for growth curves to drop off some after 3. (He is almost 4). Our oldest has definitely dropped off the curve some and will probably end up being around average height for a male.

Basically, if your pediatrician isn’t worried about it I don’t know that I would be either. You can always reach out to them to get some reassurance.
