Compton Genes
The Compton genes made Eric and Stephanie zoom up in height when they were very young, and made them the tallest / biggest kids in their classes for a long time. Raina and Lola have the Compton growing genes. Raina has been in the 90th percentile (or higher) in height and weight since she was 1 year or so. When news reports talk about how too many of America's children are overweight and obese, they are talking about my child. She's a very solid, large kid.
Raina's 5 year-old check-up put her at 45 inches and 45 pounds, which is 90th percentile in height and only 75th in weight. The nurse wanted to know if Raina is the tallest girl in her class. She is one of the tallest, but she's also one of the youngest. Some of the kids are turning 6 this month. Since she's hanging out with an older crowd, so to speak, she fits in just fine.
If the Compton track record holds true, she'll stop growing in 5th grade and be a master basketball player until all the other kids start their growth spurts. Sports success in elementary school, woohoo!
