I don't think marrying her was the relevant activity. |

Dunno about that. At 6’6” Greg is 4” taller than I am and my wife is about 5’7”. This on a diet consisting mainly of fortified breakfast cereal, bean/cheese burritos and pizza. We tried, we really did, but he seems to have done OK with it.

| What are you feeding him, Jon? This happened at our house when each was in 6th grade. I think they’re both taller than Dad, but not by much. |

| Ahahaha...I so remember my sister and I always comparing to my Mom...We passed her years ago and now at 92, she has shrunk some so we tower over her.  I would not be surprised if he surpasses your height. He is in that age range to leap ahead.

| I'm 6'2" or 6'3". I tracked taller than him at various milestones - birth, 2 year old, 5 years old. But he could still surprise me. He really has a lot of unfavorable height genes from his mother's side though. They're all small, both males and females. Rachel is 5'3" if she stands up real straight. The kid is picky but still manages to eat well. There are some healthy options on his short list of things he likes.

| Fun milestone. (well, for the boy anyway)
10 years ago, my wife was the second tallest in our household of seven...Now she's the second shortest, lol. |

So you don't tell him "eat your [whatever] so you can grow up big and strong?" I'm pretty sure my maternal grandfather said that about everything, including cookies, watermelon, hamburgers, etc.... |

| My paternal side great grandmother was named Tina, but called Tiny. The pictures indicate that "Tiny" fit. Her son, my grandfather, was about 5'4". I claim to be 5'7", which allowed me to tower over much of my family. Ok, maybe not "tower", but enough.
