I have all girls, the oldest is 17. She is still growing! I think my 17 yo is done. However, she's about 3 inches taller than I am. Most women are at least 5'7" though. Somehow being last, I didn't get the height or the blonde hair/blue eye combo. My youngest was the only one of the three of my kids that did get the blonde hair and blue eyes. And she got really blonde hair! Almost white in the summer. And I have really dark hair. My oldest is mad because she had black hair when she was born and blue eyes until she was one. She loves the dark hair and blue eyes combo. |

My 14yo DS (14 and 4 mos) is 6'4" and I don't think he's done, but his voice is deep and he has hair on his legs and a little bit on his face, but not much. His dad grew when he was 18-20, but I don't think he'll go that long. All he's been doing is eating in the past 2 weeks!!! I mean we have a GIANT dinner, then he goes and eats another dinner 30 mns later. THIRTY MINUTES LATER!!! He maybe weighs 145. FYI: I am 5'8", dad is 6'3", older sisters are shortish: 5'4" and 5'6" Oh my goodness! I thought our DS was the only (and this is lovingly said) freak of nature. DH and I are not tall - DH is 5'11" and I'm about 5'6". DS is 13, and is already at the 6' mark. He, too, eats NON STOP. He is solid (always has been) not fat, plays basketball twice a week and is fairly active. Voice is deep already, hair on the legs, slight shadow on his lip. His feet are already size 13! But he's never been a "spurt" kind of grower. He just came out big (10lbs 8ozs) and then kept up a steady growth pattern. And with possibly 4 more years of growing, I see at least 6'4" or 5" in his future. Here's hoping we win the lottery so we can afford to keep feeding him! LOL |

My husband and I wish we could eat as much as they do and stay thin! I notice that my girls eat a ton when they are going through a growth spurt. |

Not sure but when my ds went to the dr last year (age 15) she said he probably wouldn't grow anymore. WTH. He's grown a few inches since then, btw. But up, not out. He's a bean pole. Really?? I am surprised she said that. My experience has them growing until early 20's |
