I’m 6’1” & my husband is 7’1” – people are amazed by our ‘giant baby’ hitting 13 lbs when she was just seven-months-old
HEIGHT is a heritable characteristic that is influenced by both parents.
So when one tall couple found out they were expecting, they knew their baby would be on the bigger side.
In his viral video, TikTok user Beau (@bigbeaubrown) showed off his “giant baby” to his followers.
Towering at 7-foot-1, the dad revealed that his wife Sara Jane is just a foot shorter than him.
He went on to describe his infant daughter Delilah as “really tall and adorable.”
The pair revealed that they have to size up the tot’s clothing by a couple of months.
They also shared that she hit the 13 pound mark when she was just seven-months-old.
Now just over a year old, the couple joked that Delilah is a “future member of the big foot squad.”
Enjoying the snow, the family compared their shoe sizes in the fresh layer.
“Our baby already has huge feet,” Beau joked in the caption of the video.
They also explained to their online followers that Delilah falls in the 99th percentile in terms of her height.
Considering most children end up being an average of both their parents’ heights, this did not surprise them.
The couple have previously shared insights into what it’s like parenting when they are so tall.
Beau explained that walking with a stroller can be difficult, even causing his back to hurt as he hunches over.
TikTok users shared their own experiences with tall children in the comments section.
“My brother was the size of a two-year-old at nine months,” shared one viewer.
“Husband’s brother is 6-foot-4, his wife is 5-foot-3. Their baby isn’t even two years yet and the size of a three to four-year-old,” said another follower.
