thats not unreasonably small.
MY dd is 6 and 44 inches and close to 50 pounds, very sturdy. most kids her age are about her height but much slimmer/smaller framed.

My ds is 7 (will be 8 near Christmas) and is: 50" tall, 47 lbs (he lost 1 lb recently from being ill.)

He's been in Feeding Therapy but they aren't alarmed by his weight.

i love hearing all the sizes our kids are. thanks for sharing everyone.

it looks like i may have Hasimito's Diseaese and we're screening DS for thyroid issues really soon. he's very much my genetic clone and may explain his small stature and some other behavioral issues. he's also inherited my gluten intolerance which tends to go hand in hand with thyroid issues. we'll know more in a few weeks.

My son just turned 7 and he is 43" tall and about 41-42lbs.

According to the chart I just checked he's not on the chart for height anymore. Our old Dr. (we had to switch to a new Dr and he hasn't seen the new one yet) didn't seem to think anything of it but he seems soooo much shorter than all of his friends/classmates. I'm mildly concerned about his height b/c DH and I are both average height and no one in our extended family is particularly short.
