How tall and heavy are your 8/9 year olds?

DD8 will be 9 in January and can no longer fit into childrens' clothes so she wears size 8 adult clothes.
She is very tall (163cm or about 5'3) and weighs roughly 40-45kg. She has just reached puberty (only breast buds) and she was by far the tallest in her Year 3 class. She was probably half a head taller than the next tallest girl in her class :(
Both me and DH are not very tall (but not extremely short either) so we don't know where her height comes fromHmm
Is there anything to worry about? Does anyone else have a very tall child?

If you plot her current height and weight in her red book does she come out as largely on the same percentile as she has been since birth or is it significantly different?
