We’ve all heard the phrase ‘growth spurt’ at some point in our lives – right? And we have all recorded our height on the wall, to check to see if we have grown or not. One guy called Robert Pershing Wadlow didn’t need to mark his height on the wall, as it would seem he was just growing before everyone’s eyes.

In 1918, a couple in Illinois called Harold and Addie Wadlow welcomed their first child, Robert. They went on to have four children, but there was something unique about their eldest son. When he turned one year old, Robert already weighed 45 pounds, and was measured at 3’5” tall.
This is substantially taller and heavier than the average one-year-old. By age six, his growth spurt still hadn’t stopped. He was already taller than his 5’11” father, and it didn’t look like he was going to stop growing any time soon.
