Hi! Just a quick question. My 2 yr old (as of next month ) is only 29 inches tall.... her height is WAY off the growth chart. Her weight is good at 23 lbs. How tall were your kids at this age? I can tell how small she is on the US growth chart, I just wanted to see how tall other guatemalan kids were.

well...eli was 37 1/4 inches the day after his 2 year birthday. however, that's not average. lol! the dr said there are many ranges of normal, and she quite expected before we brought eli home that he would be well under the curve. we were all a "little" surprised. however, i think most of our babies here are small but mighty. even at 10 months old, eli towered over the 2 year olds at the marriott. lol!

Sophie will be two on March 21 and she is a tiny little thing. She is only 28" tall and weighs around 24 pounds. She is growing steadily so her pediatrician is not concerned. After documenting her growth on the growth chart for the past year, he estimates that she will top out at about 5 feet tall.

I always say that there are two builds of Guatemalan children! Your daughter is just smaller. My son Eli just turned 3 last month and he was 34 1/4 inches and 28 pounds, really small for three. He fell of the growth chart. His doctor said too that aslong as he stays on his own curve he should be fine, he'll just be very small! He only grew a 1/4 of an inch in 6 months! LOL! My isaac who is almost 2.5 is 36 inches tall and 33 lbs, We definatly have two different builds in our children!! Everyone always thinks our two year old is the oldest because he's so much bigger, but when Eli talks they can tell he's older!
