How Fast Does a Toddler Grow?

I can’t believe that the GAP pants I bought for Manu last December looks a a size smaller on him three months later. I got a size 2T just so the pants wouldn’t be too big nor too exact. I was expecting that he’d outgrow them in half a year’s time but in just a couple of months? Goodness. I was totally surprised when I let him wear it during his birthday, and I couldn’t believe it was already bitin! He has just worn it like three times! I felt he had a huge growth spurt between the months of January to March because aside from the pants, I also noticed that his old (and relatively new) shirts are starting to look small on him already.

Looking at the chart, it seems that he just grew tall normally. And I thought he grew at least six inches taller compared to last year (exaggerated, i know)! I plotted his height on a boys’growth chart, and I am happy to know that he’s growing up to be the average kid:

Now, back to buying new sets of pants and shirts!
