Sir your concern is apt. We will need to rule out gigantism, a condition of overgrowth of body at young age due to hormonal imbalance. I will advise to closely monitor his rate of growth. His final height calculated as your height+mother's height+5 (in inches) /2. Also get his eye check up done for visual field abnormality. If required consult with an endocrinologist.
