Okay, what the heck, I'll add my own 2 cents here...
2 daughters, 5.5 years and 4 years old. Eldest is
about 3 inches taller, mostly from leg length, and
they are both hovering around 40 lbs. Eldest looks
slender; youngest looks *solid* and muscular. Both
are healthy, bright, and energetic; I need to go to
work to get a break from their energy vortex! :) The
eldest began dropping percentiles at the 6 month mark,
after starting at 7 lbs, 3 oz at birth, then filling
out to almost 10 lbs at 2 months old (on Mama's milk).
Very bright-eyed, happy, alert baby. I was very
concerned until my parents pointed out that I was a
"little bitty thing" as a kid. When we lined up by
size for class pictures, I was lucky to make it to the
second row! She definitely resembles me in face and
body type (the kid has A cups in her future...). My
husband is 6 feet tall, looks bigger, very large
through shoulders and torso, and the younger girl is,
according to Grandpop, built more like her Daddy. It
will be interesting to see what the youngest looks
like as an adult; Daddy is a "mystery" adoptee, with
NO clue as to his biologic origins (I have my theory,
but that is another story altogether!).
Definitely need to look at the WHOLE child, and what
the child has inherited from parents, too. Is this
insurance company also refusing to cover children
whose ethnicity (not childhood nutrition) predisposes
them to being small? Example: a child of very petite
Asian parents would naturally not be a "moose", or
even of average size...
