Big difference in kiddo height and weight

Hey all! I’m trying not to be too too concerned or sound judgmental of my own kiddos here, so please know this is coming from a heart that cares so much for her kiddos, but she’s starting to worry… I’ve noticed that there’s a somewhat big discrepancy amongst my kiddos in weight and overall height/size. my oldest (boy, 21 months) is 31 inches tall, 23 lbs soaking wet on a good day, all toddler lol. He’s been 20-25%er pretty much his whole life so far.. My second (girl, 3 months) is 24 almost 25 inches long, pushin’ 14.5 lbs (way past where brother was at that age!), the sweetest lil punkin’ puddin’ 75%er. lol I’m just a little worried for my oldest, that sissy is gonna pass him up in every way (I know, not a bad thing!😅) My oldest has been deemed as proportionately petite, but my hubs and myself look at eachother like, huh. We’re both taller individuals( I’m 5ft 7”, he’s 6ft. 1.5”), I have always been more petite boned and my hubs is bigger boned. Neither side has shorter family members (my side did have a cousin who’s growth was stunted at a young age, and they had to give him growth hormone shots for a bit, but that was due to other issues) so we’re not worried…but we’re just a little worried?😅😅😅 does that make sense?😅 Anyone else have/started off having a bigger discrepancy in size of their kiddos? Some folks have told me not to worry already, that it’ll even out over time…I just…guh. I’m not sweatin’, but I’m just starting to get a little concerned for my oldest😅🥺💕 Outside forces have also played a bit of a factor in that I have ALSO been told, “oh wow! Your lil girl looks just as big as your older one!” Like, thanks, no thanks😅😬 Guh, am I sweatin’ for nothing?😅

So my twin sister and I had babies around same time, she had a girl and I had a boy. Her baby is taller than mine and mine is like big boned and hers is petite. 😅😭 like shes about 2 inches taller than baby boy and she's about a month behind. And but she still so petite, wearing 3-6 month even though she's turning 1 in like 2 weeks. Meanwhile my big ham has been wearing 12-18 since he was around 10 months. I blame his big head. 🤣🤣😅

My son is 13 months older than his sister and he weighs less than her.(2 and 3 year olds) They're both about the same height. My son is a skinny kid and his sister is sturdy. Lol They eat the same, she just grows faster. Maybe girls grow faster than boys? They're both really healthy kids. Their dad and I are both tall as well.

Prob what it is, I've seen baby girls be a little chunkier but once they start moving and getting mobile slim down alot.

Thank you all!! 💕 My girlie is 100% a fast grower for sure lol My boy…he’s on his owwwwwn track lol

My 2 year old is the 3rd centile for height and 40th centile for weight. His 8 month old brother is currently the 90th centile for height and weight. They can share clothes 😂😂. They were born almost identical weights 😂

Not quite the same but my twins were 5lb6 and 5lb8 at birth, so almost the same. Now 21 months later and one is about 2/3cm taller than the other and 2kg heavier. The one who eats less is now biggest 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have two girls but my first is 90th percentile and so far my second is 25th. I don’t get it either but assuming my first will just be tall 🤷🏻‍♀️ I get what you mean by worrying but not worrying? Like, part of me knows my oldest will be okay but also I’m hoping she slows down a little so she doesn’t have to hear - do you play basketball - comments her whole life
