Height/weight ratio for 2yr old

DS is 2 this week.
He is really heavy, not out of proportion, I don't think, but to look at him you would think he had a huge appetite and he really doesnt. Today he has eaten 3 mouthfuls of rice krispies, 1/6 of a piece of toast, 2 small fingers of cheese sandwich, 2 plums, 1/2 apple and 2 bites of chicken and some peas. he still has 200ml milk morning and at night.. I'm not too worried about his eating, it is quite healthy but can't quite work out how come he is so heavy. He is so active, borderline hyperactive. just wondered how tall and how heavy your 2 yr olds are??

DD is 2.2 and is 93cm and 29lbs. She's always been tall but seems to have gone throught a growuth spurt since ber birthday. She was 89cm then and has therefore grown 4 cm in 2 months. Not eating any more at mealtimes (but does now like to snack on bread sticks and slices of cheese as well). Somedays she'll hardly touch her meals and other she scrape her plate clean and then demolish 3 pots of fromage frais.

DS is 2.2 (almost) and is 89cm and 26lbs....he has def just had a growth spurt and gone up in weight a little. But I have done that myself as no 2 yr check ups round here hmm

Last year he didn't put any weight on for about 9 months. He is very lean!!

dds legs are quite long in relation to her tiny waist. her 12-18 month trousers fit her waist, but are ankle swingers grin

hence me moving her upto 18-24 this month.
so mainly she lives in dresses and tights.

I've found Asda ones to be quite long too. We have a Next seconds shop near us, so now she's got some elasticated waist 18-24 month joggers for £3.99.

I will have a look at M&S.

Mine have to wear the adjustable waists on the tightest bit and then they are all gathered on the sides and look awful.

Next are doing a slim fit now in trousers, might be worth a look?

i always get te trousers with adjustable waist and pull them right in, but by the time the waist fit her the trousers are like shorts grin

Asda trousers are ginormous. Mine have to wear H&M as they are the skinniest. They mostly wear no added sugar tops as they are made for the <<cough>> slimmer child.

mooki, i get her trousers from asda or M&S but the waists hang off her, she is just into 18-24 month clothes but skirts fall off her so she mainly wears dresses.
