A mother has revealed how her 18-month-old daughter is already 3ft tall.

Magnolia is one and a half years old and she already towers above her sister who’s double her age – she also weighs more than every other toddler who goes to the same doctor as her.

Clara Thomas, 19, a stay-at-home mother, from Arkansas, is only 5ft1, and Magnolia’s father, Arthur Thomas, is only 5ft11, so when their little girl kept growing and growing, the pair were blown away.

According to local doctors, Magnolia is on track to be very tall and is in the 99 percentile of children her age for both weight and height, making her the biggest toddler they have on their books.

Clara said: ‘Magnolia has been the same weight and clothes size since she turned one. So we almost never have to buy her new clothes.

‘Her and her three-year-old sister can even share clothes. Shoes on the other hand? We need to buy a new size every month, it feels like.

‘Her doctor says she’s growing exactly where Magnolia needs to be. That it has nothing to do with what she eats or does, but that it’s purely genetic. 

‘He predicts she will be very tall. She is in the 99th percentile for her age in height,’ explained the mother.

When Magnolia was born she weighed 6lbs 15oz and measured at 19.5 inches.

Clara said: ‘Magnolia is very advanced for her age – her fine motor skills are out of this world. She can brush her own teeth and open doors.

‘What we are more impressed with is her speech. She can already speak in small sentences, and she affectively communicates all of her needs. Her sister was the same way.

‘She is such a joy to be around. She says “Hi” to every person we pass in town, and she gives the best bear hugs. 

‘To know her is to love her, and we are beyond thankful for her and her sister,’ the proud mother added.
