told me all this and said, "I am happy to report that he just has a giant head." LOL! This one brings a smile to my face. I remember I used to call DS "giant head" when he was younger! I missed that!

I'll join the ranks. DH has an enormous head. When he played on softball teams and ordered the fitted hat, he'd have to get the biggest size, then have it stretched. So when we went in for our ultrasounds, I would always say "can you see if the head is big? I'm worried he won't fit." They of course said it looked normal. Of course DS didn't want to come out (so c-section after labor it was), the docs said big head was only part of the reason. But DS has always been top of head charts.
DH comes from a family full of big-heads. And they don't have just foreheads - fiveheads for all of them. I happily have an average sized noggin.

Interesting thread- our pediatrician told us early (when DS was about 3 months old) that head size was the best indicator of autism and that we'd have to really watch DS closely for the signs. They told us that for a whole year. He was born with a smallish head (and one month early and a very very long labor with a bad cone!) and ended up with a HUGE noggin. Huge. I buy adult size hats.
He also now just has a huge head...

Both of my kids have huge heads. Older dd got "stuck" in my pelvis and need c-section. With the second we didn't even try :-)

All I know is that as I get older my head gets bigger, or is that just my forehead.

Seriously, I really, really need to by DS12 a bike helmet, as his old one is so too small, but I'm putting it off because at age 8 he was in an adult Large.
When we got his Lacrosse Helmet around that time he was in a size that was larger than what most adult male Lax players were wearing.
Perhaps a catolouge is needed for big headed kids and adults? Maybe there already is one?

DH has a small head for a man. I have a large head.
DD has a small head. DS has a large head, larger than his older sister's in fact.
I don't know what to make of the data...
As for eugenics, I think it's a bad idea. Look at dog breeding. We selected dogs for what we thought were desireable traits but many breeds are now prone to problems specific to those breeds. Genetic diversity allows a species to be adaptable. We have no way of knowing which traits will be most valuable for humans in the future.

Not to wander off topic, but does it strike anyone else as weird that no one is breeding dogs for 'family-friendly' temperment? If I had the inclination to 'pick mates for dogs' I wouldn't be stessing the outer qualities, I be looking for the inner quailities!
