Grandson_5 (age 2) got his scheduled checkup. At his 18 month checkup 6 months earlier, he was around 30 pounds, same weight Grandson_4 (1.5 years older). According to the CDC chart I looked at, this put him above the 90th percentile for boys his age. (One of the families at the under-6 sports league has a little boy that seems to be a couple of months younger. That boy was visibly heavier than GS5 not long after the weigh-in.)
Now that he's older and taller, his weight is 25 pounds ... just under the 50th percentile. Clothes ... he just about fits GS4's clothes, except for height.
(By way of comparison, based on their most recent weigh-ins, GS4's weight was around the 10th percentile for boys his age, meaning that clothes are almost always too wide, while GS5's weight was finally rising to near the 50th percentile and it was just becoming possible to buy pants that fit.)
I should also add that he walks around the backyard with me most days. His steps are a lot smaller than mine, but we usually walk the equivalent of 2000 of my steps.
