As to the boy's size, it's impressive indeed. However I know that some of the largest boys I grew up with ended up being on the lower side of average height once puberty arrived. Supposedly the child's height at two years is a predictor, but I'm not sure how accurate that or any of the methods for predicting a child's adult height are.
