Getting taller: Getting taller is the primary thing. Can be associated with increase in appetite in children. The key is to see linear growth in proportion to increased appetite and weight gain. There is quite a bit of perceived " growth spurt" in the US among parents regarding their children in which the child is really just gaining too much weight as compared to height! Babies are different!
