Anyone got/had a 32lb one year old?

Or is my dd the hugest baby ever?!
She is one tomorrow, just went to get her weighed and she is 32lb 7oz, and 81 cm. This makes her 99.8th centile for height, and miles off the chart for weight. Shock
She's always been pretty big, popped off the top of the graph at 7 months, but this is surely taking the piss?! She'll outgrow her buggy before she can walk!
Thing is, and I don't think anyone believes me, she really doesn't eat that much. She's allergic to dairy and eggs so can't have anything very fatty. Just fruit, veg, fish, beans, pasta really, and she rarely finishes anything. Still breastfeeds a fair bit though.
Health visitor said she isn't worried, but has scheduled a review with the GP just incase. So now I'm worried, obvs (am a bit of a panicker!)
Please, someone tell me they have/know a perfectly normal 32lb baby?!

She does sound pretty big but I'm sure it'll settle down once she's on the move. Ds1 was nearly 11 lbs at birth and was 28lbs by 1 year old. He's now nearly 8 and still near the top for wt and off the scale for height.

I would get her weighed every 2 or 3 months and see if she reaches a steady curve (which might be off the chart since she's at the top of it for height). At least then you've got a good record of it and can speak to the GP again if it continues to climb.
