This is not a great shot... it was taken in a poorly lit basement during our family gathering yesterday at my aunt's house but I have to include it to document these two boys. My son is on the left. He is 11 years old and an average 4 foot 9.5 inches tall. My cousin's son is standing beside him at an impressive 6 feet 2 inches. He is only 13 months older.
Sure makes you wonder doesn't it, how the same family can be so different? Both of my parents were extra short...mom was 4' 11" and my Dad was 5' 2" tall, both sides of the family on the short side, then I have one brother that is 6 foot and I made 5' 5", which is tall in our family. My other two brothers are both 5' 7"!! LOL Fun to see anyway and what a difference a year can make!! FAV!
What a great difference in height! Sydney (age 12) has historically been a foot over her peers but now at 12 they seem to be catching up. The 12 yo here would certainly be taller then her. She would enjoy that very much. She is 5'7". And I think she is going to have a growth spurt soon...
Great photo, I may try this with one of Sydney's friends. :)
Wow, that is one tall boy!! I wonder if he still has a lot of growth vertically.... they had better get him to a basketball court soon! Oh, and another wonderful picture.....I feel like I really know your family!!
Wow he sure is tall. My nickname at primary was lanky as I stood head and shoulders over everyone else, but I stopped earlier and they all scooted past me. The only growing I did was outward! It's interesting to see bys in the 11 - 14 age group at school as there are great variances in their heights. These, with some exceptions, are less noticeable as they grow older.
Gosh! 6'2" at age 12?! I guess he'll slow down ... I hope so. But, a chap can never be too tall! My son was always very short, until he turned 16 when he started growing ... at 19, he's now over 6 foot tall!
Wow, he is tall. Great shot to document their growth difference at this time of their lives. I would imagine it will close up once they are both older, but still 6' 2" at 12...wow!
Clever photo and a keep. Although they are different heights, their colors and smiles match! Cuz certainly is tall for his age, which I presume is 12. Future hoops super star?
Great photo, I may try this with one of Sydney's friends. :)
