Too small

I have a 3 year old daughter who seem to be too small and too thin for her age. She eats a lot but does not seem to gain weight rapidly. Her height is probably only for a 2 year old kid. I grew up thin as well even if I do eat a lot. Both my husband and I are very short. I am 5 ft. My husband is 5'3 ft. I just need to know if I should worry about this or if this is just obviously genetic.

Sounds genetic but certainly as it concerns you, have her checked out,if she is eating okay and her health  is good it is the way she is, like you and your husband , you could get her on a good supplement Vit Bcomplex and Vit C and fish oil, to help with the growing processs. Good Luck
